Play Condition - Check pads, key corks, tenon corks, springs, screws, rods, and fit of tenons. Bent keys are straightened and key corks, felts, key silencers are replaced where necessary. Mechanisms are oiled. Each key is leveled, adjusted and regulated. Clarinet is play tested on completion. Includes cleaning of mouthpiece and case. Pad replacement including labor is an additional $10 to $25 per pad depending on instrument. Neck corks are additional.
General rule of thumb....if less than half of the pads need to be replaced, the clarinet can usually be put into good play condition. If more than half of the pads need to be replaced, it's more cost-efficient and the clarinet will play better if it is repadded or mechanically overhauled.
Typical turn around time for play conditions is 2 to 4 days (plus shipping and approval time if necessary).
Pad Replacement - Price includes replacing pad, and minor swedging and tone hole leveling where needed.
