Should I go to one of the fine regular clarinet techs in NYC (Wojiech or Yan) to tweak my LeBlanc or are there people who specialize in bass clarinet?

Jimmy Yan does a great job on basses and a number of major bass players go to him.

Jimmy Yan did fine work on my bass. I also trust Wojiech. Jacoby in Philadelphia does great work, but he has a long waiting list and charges more than the other two.
The mechanism is too complicated to work on yourself, particularly getting the register mechanism balanced.
Best regards.

Who is Wojiech? Can you give any contact info or background. I am not familiar with him.

I would ask michael lowenstern, he is the finest bass clarinetist I have ever heard and He lives in NYC. I figure he would know where the best places are to go.
Goodluck,
James

Laurie -
Wojiech at Roberto's does beautiful work on all instruments. So does Jimmy Yan.
Best regards.
