RE: Clarinet Disassembly/Assembly

Probably experience is the best teacher, it has been mine, plus observation of how friendly pro-repairpersons do it. A number of BB-ers have suggested getting a cl nearing the junker stage and "just do it". As to keeping track of the screws and rods, I return them to their proper location and clean around them as needed. There is an order of disassembly and assembly [with oiling] which becomes evident re: efficiency considerations, and is different for differing sizes and makes of clar's, saxes are another story! Mark's suggestions are good, anyone with manual dexterity will develop his/her own techniques. Most of the cl books I have dont really discuss repair, I do recall older booklets, LeBlanc [others?] giving helps. Prob Ferrees and others have repair manuals. Have fun, Don
