We were tasked with repairing used school instruments from a music program that loans instruments to students with financial difficulties in middle school if they can not afford their own instrument.
My instrument had been sitting in a closet for 15+ years, so there were many pads that needed replacing(I replaced all of them and all the key corks) as well as perform a full body chemical bath on the instrument to get all the yucky germs, dirt, grime and dust off of the instrument to make it appear new.
More to come in this post later this week.
This is the clarinet before I started taking it apart. Notice the brown round corks on both ends of both parts of this clarinet. They are dark and worn. Forgive me for not capturing more detailed pictures.
Below, the instrument is disassembled and ready for me to remove all of the white key pads and the brown key corks and tenon corks(the round corks circling the ends of the instrument).
