Thank you all for the varied responses!

Clarnibass - as always, you've provided great information. Hopefully, I'll be able to find someone to do the work for me, but if not - you've given me a great start on what I might be able to do in measuring/buying. I do see a tech in Springfield listed on the link Steven provided...perhaps it is the same person you were thinking of? Either way, I'd be happy to receive an e-mail from you pertaining to this issue.

Chris P - if it wouldn't take me a couple years to plan/schedule/save for it - I'd hop a plane and drop it off with you (along with another project instrument I'd love to have you work on) while I proceeded on to Sark. Sadly, that's not in my cards right now. I love hearing your take on stuff and it would be exciting to see the results of what you've recommended!

Steven - Thanks for the link! I'm a little uncertain how much faith to put in the tech search results. I notice that the requirements for membership aren't necessarily definitive (meaning - they specify a minimum experience which could result in quite a varied skill set.) I'll probably start calling folks from the list this weekend and next week to try to find a specially skilled person, but I'd still be greatly comforted if anyone here might be able to recommend a specific repair person.

I took a saxophone down to a well-reputed saxophone shop down in Colorado a few years ago, only to waste two days in travel, nearly a month waiting, and received a result that was equal to something I could have done the afternoon I discovered the problem to begin with. Between the cost and the results, it is a situation I would like to avoid repeating. Plus, this time, I'm dealing with a clarinet that has special meaning to me. ;^)>>>

Thanks again - I'll be keeping an eye on this thread in case anyone provides further advice, and I'll be sure to post back if/when I find someone or run into further questions while trying to winnow the field!

You folks are the best!
Fuzzy
