I have a metal Leblanc Contrabass (paperclip model) that needs an overhaul.
Have you ever worked on one? What would you charge?

and Restoration

> In the past six months I have been spending as much time repairing and
restoring clarinets as I have making making mouthpieces. I have found this
to be very rewarding and interesting. I have also had the opportunity to
work with some really fascinating instruments, including a 60 year old
Full-Boehm Buffet, an "off brand" but very nice C clarinet, and a nearly 80
year old bass clarinet. (I've also worked on some nice normal R-13s, etc.)
