Re: is an o/haul for my Couesnon worth it?

The promised follow-up report (better late than never): Finished overhaul of my 1952 Couesnon Monopole Conservatoires clarinet, and all expectations were met. Intonation and sound are first-rate, as is the quality of construction (wood and keywork). I really appreciated the presence of properly-designed locking posts nearly everywhere on the bottom joint -- for the non-techs, these are posts with an offset 'foot' having a second screw going into the clarinet body to prevent rotation of the post due to torque from the associated needle spring pressing against the key tube. Many clarinets do not have locking posts at all, and some that do have poorly-designed locking features which allow so much play as to be ineffective.

I'm very pleased with this instrument (newly crowned Primary Bb Clarinet in my fleet).
