That’s great. For the gasket I originally used cork but I could only find it in a sheet. You would then have to cut it and join it. I now use suede lace from Tejas lace company out of Fort Worth Texas. I use the 1/8 inch version cost about $9.00 bucks but you can gasket about 50 Clavietta’s. It is thicker than the gasket that is on the Clavietta by at least double, this does not effect anything just squeeze it down and it works. You can use simple contact cement to glue it down. You need to remember you will not get all the leaks out. The Clavietta is designed to have 4-5 holes at the lower register that gives the Clavietta the effect of loud then soft. Also it works to keep from choking a reed down if you play to hard wSo it feels that you have a leak but it is intensional. I did close two of the hole on my own Clavietta so it can keep more air in the chamber. You can plug the holes with a self tapping screw and remove it if you do not like what it does. On the 25 key Clavietta this is not the case and the chamber is tight and louder than the 34 key version. I will be restoring my 25 key Clavietta soon and will take pictures as I go through the process unless I forget as I sometimes do.
