Kyle, you can disassemble your clarinet easily with a jeweler's screwdriver;
that's the kind with the head that swivels in the palm of your hand as you
twist the blade with your fingers. If screws are really stuck (not uncommon on
old clarinets), try some penetrating oil such as 3 in 1 oil at the stuck
points and let the oil soak in overnight.

An inexpensive assembly board from Ferree's Tools will help you keep the
screws organized. You CANNOT mix and match screws so you must keep them
organized. The assembly board costs $6 or so. There is a link to Ferree's from
the page on my Website featuring Abe Galper's innovative register vent/key for
the Buffet R13. That page is:

If that link doesn't work, just point your browser to: www.clarinetdoc.com and
follow the link to Abe Galper's page.

Have fun!
