Re: Pad Repair Advice

I would definitely take it to a technician too. I've tried doing repairs myself and it's really hard to get the pad to seal the hole properly.

I've also had the same repair done over and over again by different technicians. Even then the quality of the seal that different techs manage to achieve makes a massive difference to how well I can play the clarinet afterwards. I've seen this both with a vintage 100 year old clarinet and with a brand new Yamaha.

I absolutely never mess with the pads on my clarinet now, and if they need work I seriously consider shipping them to a good tech, which costs quite a bit.
