Re: Clarinet repair help

This is no time for a crash course in fixing your horn, SVClarinet.

Any number of techs here could explain what your problem is, but that won't help you with your tryout tomorrow. Limited for time and all that. From what you describe, you need to get it to a repair tech right away. You don't need to know what's wrong, just let a competent (I said... *competent*) repair person do the job right.

I know your Director means well and tried to help you as best he could. Sometimes those things are a little trickier than we think they're going to be and it's hard to get it exactly right the first time unless you do it all the time like the techs do. Be sure to thank your Director again for trying to help. It was nice of him to set aside time for you.

If repair techs are at the auditions get to one of them ASAP. It will take a qualified tech only moments to undo and remedy the problem. When you get it fixed, don't ever (I said... Ever!) let anyone except a qualified repair tech do anything to your instrument again....

Hope all goes well and you enjoy your experience at tryouts.
