Tony, I think I'll avoid bending that key for now.
Chris, I removed the key. The pad is not split. If I reseat, I assume I have to remove pad and add more shellac since I need pad further from the key. And it's so easy to do too much, and cleanup is messy. I've done this in the past down on the big pads, we'll see whether a smaller pad is easier or harder.
Do I need to line up the old circular indentation with the tone hole? Would be nice to avoid that complication- that would be a vote for a new pad.
Yet another operation that, if successful, will mean one less thing to worry about in future. And I think it will wait for the New Year- I will play backup horn in the meanwhile... should have been testing A vs B with it anyway. Too much engineering to finish by 12/31 and clarinet time is precious.
