I'm seeking the screw-in post (that takes the needle spring) for the lower ring key. It's irrelevant if it is nickel or silver plated.

If you have the part please get in touch.

Do you mean the LH2 ring key or the lower joint (RH) ring keys?

If you mean the LH2 ring key, is that the shared middle pillar for the LH main action (shared with the trill keys and sprung for the LH2 ring key), or the lower one by the tenon that's shared with the C#/G# key as they were also threaded (as opposed to anchored) on older (pre 1960) B&H clarinets and sprung for the C#/G# key?

If you can post a photo of the relevant joint and circle the exact pillar in question, that would be much better. As well as the first three digits of the serial number as that is important.

The post needed is from the RH three-ringed key; the anchored and screwed post nearest the female "socket" that accepts the top joint. The serial number commences 374.

Hoping this helps.

Many thanks.
