Re: Had to get another one...

Got it now...

It is a BEAUTIFUL and well cared insrtument. New corks and pads, new corks for the two mouthpieces, both with flawless facings.

The box has an outer cover, so the cream-colored box itself is in really good shape. Gotta love the heavy full wood/no polystirene interior...

It was sold by a big pawnshop in Arizona, which is a bit sad, pretty sure this is not the end the original owner had in mind for the clarinet...

I have a couple of issues to sort out, though.

The barrel had, as per what was posted by the seller, loose rings. I can pull them off if I want to, but they do not fall off by themselves.

Also, the bell bottom ring is loose. Again, it does not fall by itself now.

My theory is that the clarinet dried up in Arizona, and after some days in Miami and a couple of days here is has started hydrating?

What should I do? Wait a little more? Should I glue the decorative bell ring? what type of glue?
