 RE: Clarinet Restoration

About a year and a half ago, I got a 1908 Buffet Bb/A pair on eBay, really cheap because they had been in an attic for 90 years. They were completely covered with grunge.

Peter Spriggs, one of the sponsors here, did an excellent restoration job. They looked and played like new. His work was fast, high quality, and, because he's in Canada, the exchange rate made his prices lower than for equivalent work in the U.S.

Steve Fox, also a sponsor, did spectacular restoration work on a Selmer contra-alto for me -- 35 pins, all completely invisible, and it plays beautfully. He has a long waiting list, though.

Best regards.
