while im not sure if your talking about the post which holds the left
hand key or one of the two posts that the holds together the e/b key and
the f#/c# key for the right hand. Either way maybe a trip to a few pawn
shops or two to find another jusnk clarinet, one not really worth
salvaging. Then see if its post are similiar enough then you can get a
good technician who is extremely experienced in replacing posts to use
the posts from the junker clarinet
