Why should your repairman get annoyed? You're taking him work! Also, just in
case everyone didn't pick up your tag line, you're in New Mexico. Any
clarinet, particularly long bass clarinets and those built to close

with a low C Selmer. I live in Utah and we play hell with these kinds of
things, as well.
