looking for expert technician in Boston

Hello,
I would appreciate any suggestions for expert clarinet technicians in the Boston metro area.

I am a comeback player who had been dabbling with an old student level Bundy horn for years. Last year Santa Claus put a Yamaha CSGII-H under the tree. I have been reluctant to play it because I was thinking I'd get back in shape on the Bundy. Also, I realize I would need to treat the CSG with much greater care.

This year I have resolved to play the CSG only - and commit myself to getting back in shape.

The problem now is that it is very difficult to assemble and disassemble. Even with lots of cork grease I get the uncomfortable feeling that I am on the verge of damaging the keys as a result of gripping so hard. I do not think it has changed much since it was new. It was always an extremely tight fit.

I would like to have an expert technician take a look at it and advise as to the best remedy. My understanding is that it ought to be a simple fix.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
