Fred,
I would have to go to his web site to be sure of what all is covered but as I recall, it is similar to what the Brannen's covers. I'm sure that he gets the clarinet at far less than what one might get it retail and that difference is part of his proffit.
I'm almost sure that he puts new cork pads on the upper section and teflon pads on the lower. I believe he removes all keywork, checks all ports, reinstalls keywork and tunes the instrument.
All I know is that when I received it, on the first try, I was able to go all the way to D above the staff for the first time since I started this hobby -- and I had not been above the register change at all in my lessons (only through my own experimenting, to about A, sometimes). What a difference. I wish I could play so I could give you a *real* report. My teacher at the time, Dr. Kevin Cox, who had owned his Brannenized (twice) R13 for 30+ years said, "That's the way it's supposed to play."
What else can I say, but very pleased. I know Brenda is going to be ecstatic when she gets her's back from Brannen.
Now, if I can just learn how to make a smooth fingering thru the throat A and Bb. Better go practice that some more.
