Are these intruments worth spending that kind of money on? From=20
everything I have heard of them they were closer to the bottom of the B&H=20
line than to the top. Check the klarinet archives for more information.

Subject: [kl] B&H Edgware
Dear List

i have been offered a pair of B&H Edgware wood clarinets, not in very good =

condition. The A clarinet needs rebores on the tenons, new tenon rings and =

corks. The Bb needs new corks and rings. Both need new springs and pads=20
etc.

I have been quoted a price of =A3200 for an overhaul on the Bb and =A3240 o=
n=20
the A. Since each clarinet would cost, secondhand, from the quoters of the =

overhaul price, @-----.

I would like to know if this is an unreasonable price for an overhaul.=20
This includes recorking, cleaning, new pads and springs. The rebore and=20
rings are extra. @-----.=20

If this is unreasonable, then what is an unreasonable price? The quoter is =

a major woodwind shop in Nottingham, UK who has a whole shed load of funky =

clarinets in a cabinet, and an Edgware Bb (secondhand) for @-----.

Please help, o oracle of mystic timbres (timbers?)
