Re: Restoration / Repair

Thank you everyone for all the wonderfully helpful advice. I'm going to have to take some notes from all the information that's been provided here so I can sort through it.

The Normandy Special I'm working on has a pretty serious crack through the register tube that was pinned some time ago. That takes some of the pressure off. I don't think anyone's going to be crying over it if I end up destroying it...

I have some basic experience with repairs thanks to my woodwind students in marching band. I was shocked last year at how many ripped corks I saw, and I don't think it was entirely due to student negligence. I take the instruments home when I can to try and do a proper repair, but all too often, I end up frantically trying to set a pad while crouched in a dark parking lot before a competition.
