I'm overhauling a Noblet Artist, and when I changed the pads I noticed they have been glued in with some kind of hot-melt window putty. It's not the first time I see this, especially with clarinets of that time period. Sometimes it's greenish, sometime whitish, but always that putty-like substance.
Any idea what this might be? I'm just curious...
