Thank you ... this has saved me £70 for a service on a £90 starter clarinet for my Daughter and I now have a lifetimes supply of George's Glue from the US (Via ebay) and a full set of skin pads from China (eBay again).
Great information. Very useful! I needed to know this since I don't trust the instrument repair shop I was referred to by daughter's band director. In the DFW area -2016, I was quoted $30 for one clarinet pad replacement or $288 for full by Music & Arts. I'm looking for alternative. Your info means I can evaluate if they know what they're talking about, at least. Thank you!
Thanks for this video, very much appreciate it. With this I am going to attempt to repad my Normandy 4 Clarinet. Over here in the Seattle area, music stores want $200 for this. Thought I should attempt this myself, 'cause this is not rocket science should be doable. Parts are on the way. Can't wait.
300 here in LA, and I found a kit for both pads and cork on Amazon for only 30. Agreed, doesn't seem too difficult and looks easy enough to save the money. Main concern is having to remove the keys to apply them and putting it back together
I enjoyed the simple way you explained how to do this. I have a pawnshop special I am refurbishing . This is my first attempt at installing pads. Can you tell me where you order pads from?
Melissa, Good luck with the re-padding. Try to contact J. L. Smith. I think he's in North Carolina. You may find him listed as J. L. Smith flutes. But first just Google his name.
Very helpful and your delivery is easy to understand and very easy to listen to.

Great intro to the task. I have everything needed and am going to proceed to part two and hopefully a successful completion.

This is very usefu.l I wish I had seen this years ago and it would save me lot of time to figure it out myself!
This is a fantastic video. Greetings from Rio.
Do you recommend using cement like micro's pad and cork cement?
Thanks for this video Tom
Nice. Very helpful. Thumbs up!!!
This is awesome THANK YOU VERY MUCH
can you show us on how to repad a piccolo too?
I need the sizes of the pads for a Lyrique 576
Thanks! The music store wants $125 even though I advised I already have the pads.
Thanks !!!
No. That's out of date and pads drop out eventually with cement. But never with hot melt glue and George's glue. Shellac has also been made obsolete.
there is a italian version ?
can u superglue it
NO!
why not?
If you use superglue, be prepared to buy lots of acetone to remove the pads next time they fail.
There is no "text." I speak information without notes or anything pre-written.
No
/???? you did not show how to remove the pads.
heat the key cup to melt the glue. I thought that would be obvious.
No, sorry. No Italian version.
Who’s thinking about this in a girl way
im sorry but your voice was so droning and monotonous i fell asleep
Maybe, for some people...
For me is quite good and explain the theme quite well and clear.
