Any ideas for these friends (player and repair tech) of mine?
I forgot to mention the three new pads were three different brands. The horn plays great, even the customer loves the way it plays except for this problem.
Hey Jim, long time no email. I have been slammed, you probably have also. I need help. Your buddy <name> has a cronic sticky bis Bb I can not get rid of. I have put in three new pads and two new springs with max tension as well as obviously cleaning the tone hole.
I play the horn for 15-20 minutes with no problem, he plays it for five and the pad sticks. He is frustrated and I think I have enough time into this horn to make my repad fee about minimum wage! Do you have any other repair buddies you can ask for advice? Maybe he should take to elsewhere, maybe I am missing something.
