RE: Clarinet Disassembly/Assembly

I've disassembled/reassembled a few clarinets. A few pointers:
1) Have a block of styrofoam & some paper handy. Document which screw goes into which key or you'll have a heck of a time later. Push the screw through the paper & into the styrofoam (not a good description, but hopefully you get my drift).
2) Take off the obvious (easy to remove) keys first - the other keys will then become easier to remove. Document the order you took them off. Reverse the order on re-assembly.
3) Either buy or make a "spring hook tool". I ground a "V" into an old jeweler's screwdriver blade. You'll need this to push the wire springs back into place when you're re-assembling.
4) Do _one joint_ at a time. Less stuff to worry about!
