Dear Ms. Morris, I can recommend strongly an excellent repair facility in
Vancouver. Morrie Backun at Backun Musical Services, are the top experts for
woodwinds in the Pacific Northwest. Look them up with a phone call
1-604-555-1212 for Vancouver telephone information to get their telephone
number and address. It would be good to make an appointment in advance. Good
luck. Sincerely, Gerald Corey, Ottawa
