Chuck, You aren't, by any chance, a used car salesman are you? (smile) I
see you live in BC. I got a Martin Freres clarinet from someone in BC
awhile back off of E-Bay. I haven't overhauled it yet but it seems to have
a nice sound. Where on earth do you get micromesh sandpaper with 3200 and
6000 grit? I go to Wal-Mart and get the type used for auto-body work in a
very fine grit. Of course, now that Wal-Mart is selling Act One
instruments, I may not get my sandpaper there anymore either.
