Re: Clarinet pads

How shallow are the pad cups? Can you post some photos so we can see what you're having to deal with.

If there's a lot of metal, you can grind out the insides to increase the depth - I do this on some older oboes with cast pad cups where the insides aren't completely smooth (but still leave them a bit rough but even inside to help the shellac key onto them).
