Re: Quality Overhaul Prices?

I live in the Bay Area. I am having my vintage Buffet R-13 (1972) overhauled next week. Wally quoted me a price of $350. He is going to polish it, put in a new kind of pads, I forget what kind he said, clean out all the holes, do something with some almond oil. I thought the price was okay. It was about what I expected. I think in downtown Oakland the going price is $500 for an overhaul. Since this will be the first time the clarinet has been completely overhauled, it should really play like a dream when he is finished. I have had pads replaced, but nothing more than that. The wood is still very pretty. He is lusting after my clarinet, but there is NO WAY I would sell it!
