Some of the best clarinet repairers are in Gothenburg not much
more than one hours ride from your home. Try Nykoepings
Musikaffaer at Oevre Husargatan ask for Fredrik Arespong and tell
him I sent you. If you phone first then you could have the exact
time when a technician will be available and he will most probab-
ly fix it when you wait or in a few hours.
