My apologies for not recalling. Must be that Early-Onset Altzheimer's.
But only when I hear FROM THE MANUFACTURERS IN THEIR LITERATURE, CATALOGS,
ETC. of this service being available will I be truly satisfied. It's like
the auto manufacturers' "secret recalls." You only get your problem
corrected free if you complain loud enough. If they offered the fix to
everybody, it would be too expensive. I concede that large numbers of
people, myself probably included, will never feel the need for this sort of
tweaking. But if it is so available, why try so many clarinets to choose
just the one that works for you? Couldn't you just buy ANY one, and have
it adjusted to suit you?

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm being a pain here, Roger, but I am really
asking seriously.

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