My radiator was almost .completely empty and started to overheat after I revved the motor up over 4000 rpm the other day. I pulled over and let it cool off refilled with coolant and got home. Just added dye and it is dripping at the bottom under the reservoir on drivers side and under the passengers side radiator. Even with the dye I could not tell where the drip originates. Is this most likely the radiator itself? I couldn't see any leaks from any hoses and I can't get a better look without taking things apart.

I want to replace all my pads with greenback pads. It's an open hole c foot gemeinhardt flute. I've measured the cups with a caliper, but a lot of the cups are half a mm smaller than the sets I looked up online. Anyone know the specific sizes for this model? I just emailed gemeinhardt but haven't heard back yet.

I actually already ordered a new fan. I just want to confirm that was the best course of action. I noticed the scraping sound on Sunday evening. I switched the van off and turned the fan by hand and could hear plastic scraping on the fan enclosure. I also shook it and it felt like the fan was loose or like the bearings weren't right. I assumed that fixing the fan itself would be a lot harder than just replacing it, so I bought a new one online that is supposed to come in today.

I played tuba in band in college, high school, and various community orchestras over the years. I always end up missing notes during concerts. I played a concert yesterday and it had 2 or 3 key changes. Started off in the key of Bb, changed to Eb, then Ab and back to Eb. I played D flats correctly, but then when we went back to Eb, I kept playing Db. Not only had I practiced it correctly many times before the concert, I even marked the notes on my music? Why my brain no work good on the tuba? And I recognized all of my mistakes in real time. JK Simmons would have thrown a drumstick at me if he had been there.

I just tried googling this and had no luck. I just want to save myself a couple bucks and I wondered if maybe there was a template I could print and cut the shims out.

Im trying to learn clarinet as a beginner and I just got an old buffet clarinet repadded at the music shop. The back pressure is high and My face gets bright red when I try to blow this thing. Is it a problem of the reed being placed incorrectly, not broken in or wet enough? I left about a finger nails worth of space at the tip of the mouthpiece. Or should I start with a softer reed? Im using a vandoren 2.5. Would a 2 work better? (You can suggest lessons, but I aint got the money for that.)
