I can relate to the comment made by someone, on how school Bass Clarinets
are in terrible shape.

As a junior in High School in 1972, I played Bass Clarinet for the
Montgomery County High School Band in MD. I used a school Bass Clarinet, as
the school had two of them.

They were in terrible shape!

I remember dragging in both of them to Chuck Levin's who at the time, had
the county contract to fix county instruments. Dragging them on a bus,
public transportant, was no fun either, to Chuck's.

The tec said they would be better off as lamp post. Well, I had a matching
set, then! Too bad, we did not have Ebay back then, as that is where they
could of gone, Bass Clarinet Lamp Posts, Rare matching set. Comes in
Aligator type case.

They worked over both of the bass clarinets and I did okay with one of them
for a trip to Europe we did.
