Thanks Mr. Aviles
So, the Medini is out, And the B12. The E&S is a beautiful piece, the tone sounds so lovely. He had been playing this one for awhile. So you don’t recommend this one until it’s been looked at by the other shop? I didn’t use them originally because they send the instrument out to be serviced which will take awhile. The temps are milder now that’s spring is just around the corner. And though the other shop hydrated it, that bell ring was loose when they returned it. Could I have just been over thinking it because of its age to worry? It played well, when I brought it home. I don’t want to mess with that one myself since it is an expensive horn. I only did what they told me to do.
He was blessed with a very good teacher in school, or he has a knack for the instrument, I’m not sure which or maybe both. It’s been a few years now, and I am impressed with his progress.
I’ll take the E&S back for service and see about a rent to own plastic model as a backup. I would hate to sell it, but I may have to, which will not make my kid happy. He’s quite attached to it. Hopefully it hasn’t been compromised. Thanks for your help.
As for the Medini, I guess a new lamp project is next.
I’ll ask them about this barrel on the B12 project at the shop. As a metalsmith I’m used to this kind of work, my hope was to learn how to repair it so I could teach my son. The top joint definitely plays, I switched it out with the other clarinets to test it. The lower joint, the one pad only has a small amount of leakage and no matter what I do, I just can’t get that pad to fit right. I’ll try another pad and a new spring.
