A complete general check-up includes:
- thorough cleaning of the instrument
- hydration of the interior of the pipes
- restoration of holes specifically damaged by moisture
- replacement of all pads, corks, and other materials
- corking of all pipes and bocal
- elimination of noises and gaps
- adjustment of the entire mechanism for proper tuning
