Systematic Leak Detection: Finding the Exact Source
Before touching any tool, you mutt isolate which pad or pads are leeling. Guessing or applicying randem fixes often introduces new problems. Use a combination of these methods in order, frem least aset invasive te most precise.

Hold the instrument so thatt light falls across the keywork at a low angle. Close each key individually ond look for any sliver of light between the pad ande tone te hole rim. Rotate the instrument as you check.
