Re: Leak fixed..what a difference!

Recently I had a student come to me with her recently 'serviced' E13 which she was having more problems with since it had been serviced. The top joint leaked like a sieve even though it had several new pads installed, but many others had been overlooked and were torn (the sharp tonehole bedplaces cut a disc out the centres of them).

So after replacing seven pads (with cork pads), she couldn't believe how easy it was to play and wasn't struggling in the upper and altissimo register as she was before, so it's amazing what an impact simply dealing with several minor (and some major) leaks can have.
