Repair tech in Fairfax, Va, area?

As of tonight, I am without a functioning clarinet. Awhile ago the middle-joint cork went on my better clarinet, and since it's a project getting such a repair done given where we live, I've been using an old Vito. However, tonight at rehearsal a pad came unglued and I couldn't re-stick it using the old heat-em-up method.

A thought came to mind: This Thursday I'll be accompanying a family member for a medical appointment in Fairfax City (Fairfax Co., in DC area). There will be about a 2-hr. window (from about noon to 2 p.m.) for me there that I would otherwise spend reading in the waiting room (near intersection of Rts. 29/50, which may be called Lee Highway, and Rt. 123, Chain Bridge Rd.). I'm hoping I can use this time to get these clarinets fixed, but not having to leave one or both if possible. Actually, leaving both for pickup another day is out of the question as we have a concert coming up.

Can anybody offer a suggestion as to where I might find a (good, of course) repair tech in the vicinity? Of course, I would need to call ahead to see if my desire to have these (rather small) repairs done on that day can be accommodated. If you can suggest someone, it would be great if you could also offer a phone number.

Thanks!
Marge
