What I do think, is that if I had concerts and had to rent a horn I was not
familiar with from a local shop to play (which would be around $100 for a
minimum 1 month rental here in New York) so that all of these
repairs/matchings could occur, I would have much rather paid the $99 and
got a totally new clarinet overnight from F. Weiner with the no questions
asked guarantee...I just play too much to be out of a horn (especially a
new one) because it will take a week or two to go the the process of the
manufacturer's warrantee, getting the problem assessed, and getting it
fixed/replaced & matched. This is MUCH more costly to me as a professional.
Maybe others have a lot more time to kill without their instruments than I
do.

With such a busy schedule of playing, concertizing, etc., you do not have
your own back-up horn? Or at least one you could borrow from a friend?

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
