Re: My "New" Bass Clarinet

I've had my Model 33 since 1971. I was lucky that mine never developed cracks in the lower joint. When it was new my technician showed me how to check and adjust the ring and also put a mark on the wood and the ring so I could tell if they were out of alignment. Nowadays the wood doesn't change much and I keep my humidity at home (Long Island NY) at an acceptable level.

I've mentioned before that my Model 33 is the best I've played in my opinion. It's been through one complete overhaul and has been carefully maintained.

I bought my A clarinet from Saul Fromkin in 1967. He was a funny guy and a great repairman.
