Actually, I am NOT complaining. I am responding to OTHERS' comments about
extra work some of you have done to your brand new clarinets. I assume the
fact that all of you refer to work done on Buffets is coincidental; that
similar work is frequently done on other brands as well. Still, I have not
yet heard of anyone doing "Brannenizing" or similar work on anything other
than Buffets. Is there a reason for this?

For the record: I am an incorrigible tinkerer with my own instruments, so
maybe I am really on YOUR side in all this!

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