>>Tinkering is an activity best limited to backup horns.

Well, I agree that *learning* to tinker is best done on backup horns. Once you've learned, tinkering becomes an irresistible addiction, though I think pro repair technicians deserve every cent they charge.

I intended to learn on extra-cheap, expendable, student-quality flea market and yard sale finds. As it happens, my first chosen victim was a vintage H. Bettoney Silva-Bet. I picked up this early 20th century metal clarinet for $20 at a yard sale because I was afraid of damaging a wooden or plastic clarinet and I was under the ignorant impression at the time (1998) that metal clarinets were all worthless. Oops. Luckily, I didn't manage to ruin that good clarinet (I've still got it), though I had to re-do the re-pad twice to get it right!
