Success!! The broken Buffet Greenline Low C Bass clarinet has finally been cleaned up, keys replaced ( what a jigsaw puzzle! ) adjusted, tested and delivered to the player. He came and gave it a good going over and pronounced it worthy- he is going to play it in the California State Honor Orchestra performance this week. The players father has, along with myself, breathed a great sigh of relief.

My profound thanks to Gordon the Great for suggesting the methodology that I followed. I decided to use blue painter's masking tape to protect the areas near the break as well as allow me to draw pencil lines to indicate the drilling locations for both the big longitudinal pins and the small air-bleed holes- worked fine. I also used a drill press to make the pin holes, and an extra pair of hands was very helpful for this operation. I cadged some small disposable syringes from the local pharmacy and used a short piece of flexible tubing pressed on the spout to inject the J-B Weld epoxy, and a long threaded rod with large washers at each to clamp the works while it set. All in all, a big project, but one that I have derived great satisfaction in successfully completing. Pix later,as soon as I can get to it.
