Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 26th, 2013 Well, I left it for 30 minutes..and it didn't rock... Don't you think it will stink with the motor oil? I am leaning towards WD40... The ring is loose at least and it rotates!!! Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 27th, 2013 tseligas ,it might take 2 to 3 days for it to come loose , let it soak , and soak ,and soak .. Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 27th, 2013 Ok, so far, I have tried spraying locally with WD40...wiggling it... Nothing. I am putting it in the fridge again for 1 hour. If that fails I will make a nice bath in 10W40 motor oil!!! I am about to remove all keywork! Will post pictures! Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 27th, 2013 remeber do not rush it soak it ,and lets say if you cannot get it off , take it to a professional ,(i mean a guy that makes aliving at it and see if he can get it off )but i think if you soak it long enough it will come of.f Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 27th, 2013 Ok, 2nd time in the fridge, a little bit of wiggling...nothing moves...more WD40, fridge again.. ...........In the meantime.............: See the picture. I started disassembling the bottom part and I got to say that the wood looks overall in good condition. I had trouble removing a few screws and some of the didn't want to move. I used WD40 to solve some arguments. springs look rusted but functional. I am not sure yet how the springs are attached to the little heads. There may be a hole through them. I am missing also 1 screw. Throw ideas on how I can get one. I also had trouble numbering the little heads. It appears that each one has its own place. So as I removed them I noted down their location. My intention was to wash them all together in a solution but I don't want to mix them... Pads look simply disgusting.... there are some things growing on one of them. Ideas to remove them? If I am right they used glue wax to put them together so I will try to heat them up and see if they fall off. There are still 2 stubborn screws left on the thumb rest on the back. Almost stripped one of them. Got it WD-40'd and I will give it an hour before I attack again! As for the stuck barrel if it won't come out tonight with the fridge+WD40 technique I will drown it!.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]58[/ATTACH] Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 27th, 2013 as for the thumb rest ,if the screws are tight leave them on , as for the pads i think if you use a cigarette lighter you can heat it up ,the pads should fall off ,the keys buff them out on a buffing wheel ,all the springs mounted under the keys have a hole in them , Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 27th, 2013 Update: Thumb rest released after WD40.. (one screw will never turn counterclockwise again ROFL) Lesson: Let the screws soak in WD40 overnight. Now the metal separated from the wood eventhough there are couple points where there is a metal pin in the wood. Probably the springs where sitting there. I think I will leave it there for the time being. So next: Cleaning methods for Keys and cleaning method for the wood. And we also need to repair that crack. At this time I need to order some cork too. I remember eeze had some experience. Gonna send him a PM to summon him. Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 28th, 2013 OILING THE WOOD I was reading this article here: http://www.the-clarinets.net/english/c-article-rohrblatt-oiling.html It appears that he talks from experience. Very nice article that explains with science why oiling can be good and bad. In summary he suggests using this mixture: linseed oil + hempoil (all cold pressed) + citrus terpene + quartz + patience He advises against petroleum based oils. Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 28th, 2013 And I also had a problem numbering all the key holding pins. As each one is custom made for every position when I will clean them in a solution (Haven't figured that part out yet) I will mix them and then it will be a nightmare. I actually had a dream tonight that my grandmother cleaned the table where I have them laying out right now!!! What a nightmare!!! So the solution is them to put them on string after you number them on a sketch. I made a sketch starting from the top down. Will post a picture later. So then you can hold them all together by the string, wash them, plate them ...whatever! Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 28th, 2013 the first one is always the hardest , after you get the clarinet back toghether the oil will work it self out , and those little pins in the wood are for the springs to piovot off of . |
