I have a question open for opinion:

I have the primary valve chest  of a Claviola pushup (Hupfeld) apart on
my bench  and I have found that there is a reasonable amount of leakage
at each pouch.

    I tryed sealing one to see if it was the leather pouch leaking or
the wooden channels in the valve chest.   It is obvious that my problem
lies in the channels, and that to fix the problem I will need to reseal
them (a major job  I might add, as I will have to replace all the paper
bleeds to perform this).

   What I would like to know "Does  anyone know what amount of leakage
this would have had?.  If not, what would  best optimize greatest
repetion at 4 to 5 inches?  (by the way it has pillow pouches, and
their not made of zepher skin).

   I want to get the best possible results I can out of this
player without having  to pull it apart again.   Thanks for any help
given.
