The Evette Schaeffer "looks" decent. The loose bell ring is probably not much of an issue unless it vibrates during play causing a buzzing on various notes. This particular ring is pressed on during initial construction and there is no way to remove it to apply a shim (the poster above probably was thinking of the ring at the top of the bell). You can easily shove some make shift shims in the space I see at the top part of the ring. Snapping toothpicks so that you have some flat, thin splinters to use as shims should do the trick.


Honestly you should be able to get this one going for a $150 repad and adjustment from a decent tech. I strongly recommend seeking out someone who does this ALL THE TIME. There is no shame in it, it is relatively cheap, and you'll be assured of a working clarinet.


What is your general geographic location? If anywhere near Nashville, Chicago, Toronto, Raleigh NC, or Seattle, there are some top people who do clarinet repair.
