Re: Advise on keeping R 13 made in 2013

he is local Bob Warfield in Dillsburg, pa. He found the chip in the tone hole after another guy missed it. The original owner of the clarinet only played it a few months and bought something else. I called the music store that sold it originally and they claim they didn't keep records and couldn't tell me why it sat around for 3 years. I was told by Buffet it was made in 2013 then not purchased until Nov of 2017 acording to the original owner and I bought in August 2018. The original owner didn't like it. I think it just needs a little more tweaking like any new instrument. I now understand a chipped tone hole isn't a big deal. As a bassoon player I just have to watch the unlined tone holes. I do know how to do the suction test on a clarinet and have to be more careful assembling it and use more cork grease the corks are so new and the whole instrument not played much. I'm used to silver keys the previous owner was not. Now that I have a good reed, mouthpiece ligature set up things will get better. The pitch is quite good except for the usual problem notes.
