RE: Clarinet Restoration

I strongly recommend against packaging clarinets for shipment in Vegemite (or Spam, for that matter) --- makes quite a mess if you do. All seriousness aside, on a couple of occasions I've sent (or received) clarinets whose individual joints were wrapped in Bubble-Wrap inside the case, in which the extra thickness of material caused some keys to be bent upon closing the case lid. I'd recommend instead placing the clarinet parts inside the case in the normal manner, then laying one or two flat sheets of Bubble-Wrap on top of the whole affair before closing the lid. Then, tightly wrap the entire closed case with the Bubble-Wrap and tape around it securely. Always, when adding padding to the inside of a case, test the closing to make sure nothing is being unduly compressed.
