RE: clarinet repairs

Ginny your fixation on gender absolutely bewilders me. Once again I DID NOT EVEN LOOK at the name, hence gender of the PERSON I responded to in my posting. I responded to a posting - not the gender of a person, nor even a person. (Sorry to have been so imprersonal. Paul!)

I am astonished that Ginny has brought this matter up again. For those who want the background for my annoyance at Ginny pursueing this matter do an "all words" search on "repair parts ginny" to locate the thread involved.

Thank you Rene. My post was written entirely in the spirit that you describe. Communication was accurate. It was intended as an attempt to highlight how complex an overhaul normally is. It was not intended in any way to be CRITICAL of anybody's ability or lack of it. (By the way I do not know what gender you are!)

Ginny you seem to have created a gender issue based on the difference in meaning of the terms "mechanical ability" and "experience" (with respect to mechanical ability required in clarinet overhaul). I put it to you that in the non-critical context of my posts above and in the previous thread these terms are synonymous.

It may be relevant that before I read you post above I received an email from Paul indicating agreement with what Mark and I had written and my response to him was, "Go for it! I am totally self-taught in this job [of instrument servicing] and if I had not tackled my run-over Haynes flute the job would never have begun."
