RE: Rebuild Old Buffet?

I've always thought that the clarinet should be repaired. Of course, I'm biased...I wanted to bring it to college with me. Don't worry all, I'm taking great care of it, but I am practicing plenty. From what I've experienced with newer clarinets, they just don't sound or feel like the good ol' Buffets. It almost feels like the 1894 Boehm system Buffet was built for me; not even my dad's '60's R-13 Buffet feels as comfortable to hold or play as my clarinet (he says it's his, but he already has several good clarinets, so I think it's mine). And WOW!!, the sound/tone quality is simply amazing!! I may not be majoring/minoring in music, but I'll be playing this clarinet for a long long time yet.
