Sorry for the late reply, but finals, then grades, plus performances with
EPSO and a concert with the Mesilla Valley Concert Band (guest soloist with
former student Chris Jones, currently in the West Point Band) left me behind
in reading my Klarinet mail.

Where there are orchestras, there are repair techs. With a little
diligence, I
am certain Ms. Cowell will be able to find somebody to help her. El Paso
has a
symphony orchestra, doesn't it? Klarinet's own Laroy Borchert is a member
of
that orchestra. Laroy? Do you know of a tech in the El Paso area who might
either be able to help Ms. Cowell directly or point her in the right
direction?
