Many of us believe that a band teacher is the last person who you should ask
to fix your instrument. - Lars

>> 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.
