A re-pad for any instrument should make a huge and impressive difference to your ability to sound notes, feel to play and how your sound reaches the ear, not just for you but for others listening.

 

“How do I know if my instrument needs a re-pad?”

 

If it look s like it does, it probably does. Pads look discoloured, split and dry.

If you have many leaks and you can see that the pads are damaged.

The instrument doesn’t feel even through out the action. You have to press fingers down hard to get any response.

These are just a few suggestions.

It costs nothing to bring it in for a visual check and some free advice. Contact me

I use only premium pads on all re pads. Corks and springs are replaced as needed. I do not replace all springs during a re pad. I will not do this as it may alter the balance and I do not believe in fixing what does not need mending. If this is your requirement, then please refer to the overhauls page.

 

Please remember that there can be difference’s to these prices. For example an open hole flute may cost more. A professional instrument will cost more due to cost of parts. Different size instruments may alter cost, a Baritone sax will cost more than an Alto sax.

 

Please be aware of price before work begins.
