I am from the Philly area and here's my two cents. The person that I would
recommend is Mike Hammer. He's listed in the phone book and lives off of thew
Roosevelt Blvd. If not listed under his name then ask for the number to
Hammer Music. Mike is a wonderful guy and incredibly knowledgeable in all
areas of the clarinet from repair right down to playing.

The other person that I would recommend is Mark Jacobi. He is listed in the
clarinet magazine and also in information. He's also a wonderful repairperson
and very knowledgeable but his prices can, at times be a bit outrageous to put
it mildly.

So there's the two people that I can point you toward. Good luck!!
