Subj: [kl] Non player needs advice on repair
Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 20:39:58 -0400


Hello,

Our son is studying clarinet and in six grade band. He borrowed his
neices clarinet and it now needs repair.

A small piece that has come off. This piece has two pins, one above
the other. One of the pins is shorter and may have broken. It looks
to me as if those two pins are the rear (toward the player) pivot
points for the parts that move that are operated with the
fingers. It looks as though this piece may have been held in place
with a screw, but I can't figure out how to take it apart to install
this part (even if I had a new one).

Can someone give me some advice? If this part needs to be replaced a
professional, what is a fair price range for doing it? Is there a
web page with clarinet pictures showing how to take one apart and
re-assemble it?

Thanks.

John
