Subj: [kl] Please Help - R13 Greenline Top Joint Broken!
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2006 22:44:49 -0500

Hi everyone,

I'm really hoping some of you might be able to help me out here. Today
I slipped backwards on the carpeted steps in my university's bandroom
just before band class, coming from the practice rooms upstairs with my
clarinet in my right hand. The clarinet didn't actually hit the
ground, but the my right hand did, and apparently the impact was enough
to break the lower part of the top joint off inside the top recess of
the bottom joint.

It is a Buffet R13 Greenline with silver-plated keys that was purchased
new about 6 years ago. Pictures of the damage can be viewed here:

I would like to know what my options are, and if it can be repaired,
who should I send it to? I love my clarinet and I want to make sure it
is well taken care of (I would rather spend the money to be sure I get
the best possible fix for it). I appreciate any advice or
recommendations you guys might be able to offer me.
