Subj: [kl] Contra Overhaul
Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 19:33:47 -0400

Klarinetters,

I was wondering, as a question to all you contrabasses, how much would it
cost to overhaul? I ask because we found a kind of new Leblanc Contra (I
think I've told you all this before, but I'll tell again) in our school
band's "storage of old instrument stuffs". I greased the corks, sanitized
the mouthpiece, but good Vandoren 3's for Contrabass, and made sure all the
springs and steel wires were all properly aligned, only to find out there
were just simply some things about it being in stroage for so long, that it
needs an overhaul.

Now, my band teacher has said the school will foot the bill, but if it's
gonna cost a lot, I'll just drop the whole thing (not literally!).
