I bought one of the 100 spring assortments from Ferrees and have used
them to repair a half dozen vintage clarinets. The only ones left in
the assortment look to be sax sized. (And there are plenty of them.)
Clearly, it is time to buy springs by size and by the dozen.

Opinions on Stainless steel round springs vs. blued Needle springs?

Stainless sizes run: .018; .020; .022 ….. .064
Blued sizes run: .018; .020; .021; .022; .023; .024; .027; .029;
.030; .032; .033; .034; .035; .036; .037; .039
(and more to .064)

which sizes am I likely to use on soprano clarinets?

Why are the sizes different?

jim
