 "Do It Yourself" Bass Clarinet Maintenance
Author: Bob A 
Date:   2003-05-11 21:40

Living in rural Iowa I am hard-pressed to know or find a Bass Clarinet specialist. I own a Conn(Malerne) re-done by Dave S... It plays (played)beatifully until last week. Now throat tones and lower right-hand pinky tones are "stuffy" and feel like more pressure is needed to close everything off. Wearing hearing aids everything always sounds like magnified leaks and with them out I am at a dead loss. I am sure it is nothing major but lack the knowledge to corect this fault myself.

The local area "fix every" specialist is a personal friend and I hate to spoil that relationship by asking him to tweak it if it is something he is not really accustomed to handling. This Board's general comments on "school-maintained" Bass's adds to my apprehension.

Sooo? Is there a good reference book I can obtain which will not only increase my own education (now totally lacking) but stimulate conversation with my friend and possibly improve his memory about things he might do?

Non-Bass references only if applicable please.
