This same repair shop did something "inventive", at least I thought so.
They have ground up Grenadilla wood into very "fine dust". Utilizing this
ground grenadilla wood they plugged the holes left by the "ugly black"
thumbrest's holes.
No problem. Looks VERY nice. FWIW, it isn't easy to identify where the old
holes were and I have a hard time seeing any damage done to the value of the
E-11, as a result of this work.

Not inventive, it's standard practice - to cover the holes with that
combination of varnish, and dust. How bout a thread on what it takes to
de-value a student Clarinet. How much would a pinned crack devalue a
student wooden clarinet? (not a Pro model)
