Hi JIm,
I would keep playing what you are comfortable with. The new clarinet are not better than what you have.

Subject: [kl] Moennig clarinets

I have a pair of clarinets I purchased (actually they were picked out
for me by my teacher Joseph [father of Anthony] Gigliotti) from Hans
Moennig in 1964, and have been playing them ever since.

Certainly I have changed barrels and use one of Mr. Swiney's bells.

I guess this question is addressed mostly to Mr. Swiney.

Should these clarinets be rebored, or should I not pay attention to
that? They seem to play fine, but of course I am so attuned to them.
I've tried new clarinets and the only one that comes close (and
exceeds, unfortunately) is a Wurlitzer.
