 Re: E flat / A flat left pinky key retrofit

I tried it out on my plastic Yamaha first (photos are further down the same page as the Peter Eaton International along with the oboe photos) but it's reasonably straightforward if you have all the gear ready to do this kind of work. I also made and fitted the LH forked Eb/Bb mechanism to the Yamaha - I had this in mind for my 1010 but someone bought it off me before I had the chance.

I think it took somewhere around 12 hours maximum from start to finish - I didn't keep track of the time, but I'd suspect it's around that as it was nearly two days work.

I wrapped the original key up in acid free paper and tucked it into the case lid cushion so the owner of the Peter Eaton can always have it put back on at a later date if she wants to: http://www.clarinetperfection.com/galleryclar/Keywork/CP1/20.jpg
