Re: C clarinet

There are 2 schools of thought regarding C clarinet parts. Should the player transpose or should he play it on the C clarinet.

I think it depends on the composer. So I'll leave it at that. I feel some some composers actually wanted to hear the sound of a C clarinet.

As for you, it's your call. Maybe you might want the horn and a time will pop up when all of the players are just jamming and it's just easier to play on a C clarinet. You can find plastic ones on Ebay for $100 or so and that's about all they are worth. $1000 is a lot of money for a repair, but it is a Buffet. I would look around and see if you can get it fixed for less. Maybe at a repair school. There are a few schools like this around and maybe you can get it fixed for much less and at a very professional level. These are sometimes just woodwind schools and other times a 3 year program when the students learn to repair brass and woodwinds. This includes sliver and gold plating, dent removal, fixing cracks, everything. http://www.probirt.com/nm/repair-schools/repair-schools.asp
