Go to:

http://test.woodwind.org/Search/index.html?klarinet_index=klarinet_index

And do a search for "Ohme" in the clarinet archives. One of the posts is
titled "Clarinet Overhaul Hell."

I can recommend Larry Naylor in Denver, who I believe is a site sponsor. He
has worked on three of my instruments, including a complete restoration on
two of those, and the work is immaculate. His site is at:

http://www.naylors-woodwind-repair.com/

Many people on the list also report good luck with Walter Grabner, who is
also a sponsor, and is at:

http://www.clarinetxpress.com/

Also there have been good things written about Morrie Backun:

Hope this helps.
