Clarinetti,
Once again I must disturb the otherwise intelligent flow of wisdom to pester
you for ANY leads in locating used, beaten, defective,
haven't-been-ground-down-to-make-a-grenidilla- composite, and generally
battered Buffet clarinet bells. I'm SERIOUS! It's has been and is going to
continue to be a long snowed-in winter in Connecticut: I've practiced all I
can stand on all the clarinets I own, I've even worked on my flute chops, and
I still have some time to kill. I WILL make bell pencil holders for my
students!
Isn't there a repair-guru with a box of parts and things somewhere? What
does a manufacturer do with the parts that split right off the line? Oh,
please pity me and send me a lead!
Teri
