Re: Clarinet Overhaul

I think "best" would be extremely difficult to pin down. Have you considered how long you can be without the instrument? Would 6 months be too long? Replating can take quite a while . . . depending. Also, some of the top guys have a good waiting list unless you are a household name in the clarinet world.

Do you know what YOU want in an overhaul? Kind of pads? Oil immersion? Can you travel to the technician for final adjustments? Do you want tone holes adjusted for intonation? Once you decide what YOU want, it might be easier to get the list narrowed down.

For example: If you want oil immersion, a lot of great technicians don't do that - so they are off the list. There are relatively few that will adjust undercutting, so that narrows it down also. Some may not care to be involved in a replating effort - there goes some more. I think you get my point.
