Over time, pads naturally degrade due to moisture, friction, and compression, leading to micro-leaks that compromise the instrument's response. A complete Re-Pad is a focused mechanical and acoustic revitalization of your clarinet.

By replacing the entire set of pads with our proprietary, high-performance cushions, we restore the flawless airtight seal and crisp tactile feedback required for peak professional performance, while strictly respecting the original integrity of your instrument.

Why this service is essential for professionals:

• Acoustic Consistency: A uniform set of brand-new pads eliminates shifting focal points, ensuring an even tone and stable resistance across all registers.
• Instant, Effortless Response: Eliminating micro-leaks means the instrument speaks immediately, requiring significantly less finger pressure and reducing physical fatigue during long sessions.
• The SIGNATI Advantage: This service features a complete installation of our proprietary SIGNATI pads. Engineered specifically for professional classical artists, they provide an unyielding airtight seal, maximum mechanical silence, and a vibrant, uncompromised tonal projection.

What the Re-Pad Service includes:

• Disassembly & Inspection: Complete strip-down of the keywork. The wooden body is thoroughly inspected for hairline cracks, and the original condition of the tone holes is carefully checked.
• Tone Hole Cleaning: Gentle cleaning of all tone holes to remove any dirt or residue, ensuring a clean, unaltered surface for the new pads to seat against.
• Precision Pad Fitting: Installation of a full set of custom-sized SIGNATI pads. Each pad is meticulously leveled and seated to achieve a permanent, flawless seal.
• Focused Keywork Maintenance:
  • Checking and leveling of keys to ensure precise alignment with the tone holes.
  • Inspection of key corks, bumpers, and silencing felts, replacing them only where necessary to maintain the quiet, optimal action you are accustomed to.
• Advanced Regulation & Lubrication:
  • Fresh lubrication of all pivot screws and rods with premium synthetic oils.
  • Micro-adjustment of all complex linkages and venting heights to customize the action to your preferred resistance.
• Rigorous Testing: Multiple vacuum and leak-light tests, followed by an extensive professional play-testing session to ensure perfect tonal homogenization.

Recommended Service Interval:

Depending on your playing schedule, acidity of perspiration, and environmental conditions, a professional clarinet typically requires a complete re-pad every 4 to 6 years.
