I have always wondered how to perform a vacuum test. I just tested my Jupiter hybrid frankenet by placing a piece of plastic bag between the bell and bottom joint. I sucked through the mouthpiece until my lungs ached. It seems my improvised frankenet is rock solid despite the bulletin board corks I installed.The Vito also had bulletin board cork replacements. My Armstrong and Artley also have them.They all play well.
In the past I have retorqued the Vito springs . I have also cleaned and softened the pads by applying olive oil to cigarette paper which is gently worked between the pad and clarinet with the keys closed.Visibly damaged pads have been replaced. The only items I don't remember tinkerimg with are the metal tube inserts.
At present the Vito is lost in storage .When I find it I will attempt vacuum testing from the top down.
