Hi!
Due in large part to everything I've learned on here over the years, I've been maintaining my own instruments (stripping, oiling, etc) for years, as well as minor repairs such as pads, and corks. I'm pretty comfortable with all of that stuff, but I haven't attempted a complete overhaul and neither do I have much experience with major key adjustments. I'm really good at making something work short term if there's a concert or immediate need, but I'm by no means an experienced repair person.
I have a coworker who's just asked me what I would charge to clean up an old plastic Yamaha clarinet that's been in a closet for years. It's very dusty, a few pads and corks need replacement, and I'd like to strip it down and clean and oil it nicely. There aren't any big adjustment issues, it's just dirty.
What do you think is a fair price for this? I really don't know, as this is my first time charging for it, but I'm confident I can rehabilitate it into a very reasonable student's clarinet.
Thanks so much!
Anna
