Tony W. asks:

<< If an old instrument has, or develops bad 12ths, is it possible to correct this - even to <some> degree, to enable a student to use?>>

There is no easy answer to this. If the problem is caused by wear in the bore or to the tonholes, probably not without more work than is worth doing $$$$$$ wise.

However, so much can be done by making a barrel that will accurately matec the bore....this can be a possibility.
