Mark (Thiel),

I downloaded your neck adjusting instructions a couple of years ago, & i
already forwarded them to Walter directly.

Dealing with the registration for other group is tedious....
I have never gotten it to work correctly without help from the group
moderator.

Maybe you can post this information with Mark Charette's help on Klarinet
Pages to be more easily and widely available?

How about it, Mark C?
