>>I have worked on a wooden Selmer (USA) oboe and the top joint bedplaces >>

Chris, My oboe is wood with Selmer USA on the bell. I got it off an auction site. It was a school instrument at one time.

The first thing I did was strip it down to wood. I cleaned and buffed the silver keys, sterilized and cleaned the bore and redyed the outside black.

The thickness of each pad is different and I had to handmake each. I had planned on replacing some springs and was planning on drilling for bigger springs. Do you see a problem with heavier springs.

>>I have a hard rubber Eb clarinet with really really bad tone holes - "jagged" would be an understatement >>

I also have a Eb clarinet that had burrs on the crown. I glued sandpaper to a flat round surface and rotated it on each crown. That along with swagging all the keys made it play much better.
