Hi clarnibass,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I took the same spring off an Artley clarinet- it works but feels somewhat weak.
I was able to play this "new" (to me) Evettee and was surpised that it sounded really like a student hurd rubber clarinet. I was expecting better tone from a wooden instrument.

Prestini sells the springs too, I understand that I may want to get a thicker spring to make the key stiffer since I don't want it to leak.

This "project" makes sense only if I can do it myself, otherwise buying E11 would make more sense- e11 is a much better instrument INHO.
I regret selling my first buffet -E12 though I wanted money to finance an R13...

Thank again
