@ Julian and Chris.
I totally agree. a teacher is absolutly necessairy and I will certainly do just that. For the first (baby)steps, i have a friend that will show me. From there on I will look into what teacher there is around me locally (alread looked, but difficult to find unfortunately)
@ Reese.
Thank you for you confidence!
@ Lydian,
In principle I agree with your point of view!
Traditional metjods are traditional for very good reasons. They have with stood that scruteny of time and people know how to use it.
On the otherhand. I know that some new methods / techniques will help too.
For example, hot glue is often use for pads (acording to online sources) and also by professionals. Hot glue would IMHO also be a new comer. and still it has been (reasonably) widely accepted because of ease of use and it's specific properties. Never the less i don't believe the first clairinet builders would've liked that. new things scare the uninformed and that is understandeble. (un)fortunately there is only one way around it. Gain experience!
I can only advice anyone who doesn't know it, to use it for any hobby purposes (not instrument related) . I honoustly believe it will be your 90% go to glue, not just for mobile phone. Often inventions rise above there intended goal. For example WD40 was invented (as far as i have been correctly informed) as a coating for the space shuttle to shed ice upon launch, now everyone I know has a bottle in his/her garage (most use it wrongly though) and I an assure you, none of you have a space shuttle to use it on.
Additionally i did not mention anything related to playing as that is not the topic of the question and IMHO it's not the right medium here either. The idea of the question was maintence, rubber in general as I am fairly unfamiliar with how to treat such a base material. So i wanted to know more and generally the topic widened to more general maintenance of the instrument and this has been very informative to me! For that I thank everyone who has reacted in a constructive manner, but please do not mistake me trying to stay on topic as not being interested in the main purpose.. Learning how to make music with this beautiful instrument (which i hope will arrive tomorrow )
oh yeah don't worry about next owners.. there won't be any, I rarely give up things I set my mind on but, you couldn't know as you don't know me. Assumptions, never a good thing!
Kind greats
Matthieu.
