Re: Repaired crack.. now stuffy?

I thought I would update.

Richard looked at my oboe. He says that numerous pads had become "unseated ".. I think he said.

He said some weren't sealing at all.

When asked of that was something the previous repairer had done when fixing the crack, he said probably not.

Except... Even with the crack, my oboe was really free blowing...

After the crack fix, I could no longer play it. So clearly, the pad problem wasn't there before the crack repair.

To fix what is now wrong with the oboe... Will be another 500$

It is a Tom sparks oboe.

Richard says it isn't a particularly good oboe, so maybe I shouldn't bother repairing the pads.

Again, a little peeved, I wasn't told this before I spent the 660$ on the crack repair.

And there is always the risk that he fixes the pads, and it still isn't okay.

I have the Armstrong worth oboe now, so there is no rush to make a decision. But I am torn, the Tom sounds so much better than the resin.. Basically.

But I don't have 500$ to risk if it doesn't work

And wondering if it is normal for a repairer to unseat the pads and then not notice that he has done it? Because he had a second look at it. And told me he has done all he can, and couldn't do anymore . I am quite frustrated. You can prob see.
