I go to school in Elon, NC (It's about 25 minutes away from Greensboro,an
hour from Raleigh). I have had pretty bad experiences with instrument
repair in the past. With my previous clarinet, the mid-joint cork was torn,
and I took it to a repair shop. Two weeks later, it still wasn't fixed! If
anyone knows of a decent clarinet repair person in Central North Carolina,
that would be great!!!
