Subj: Smelly bass clarinet
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 1997 11:10:43 -0500

I had work done on my old Selmer bass clarinet. I was hapy as a clam,
until the instrument warmed up and began to smell of cigaret smoke and
perfume of some sort. I am one of those people who gag when someone
stands next to me, all doused in cologne. For me the instrument is
virtualy unusable, as it literally makes me sick. Any advice?
I am going to talk to the repair man today, but I am not sure if this
can ever be taken out of the instrument or he case.
