finding clarinet parts

I recently bought a Selmer Signet 100. Nice, full sound. Unfortunately the right hand B key was bent severely. when I went to straighten it out, the key snapped off. Where can I go to find spare keys for particular clarinets Thanks for your help.

Also, where can I get those small cylindrical springs that some Leblanc Normandy horns use - sometimes at the upper joint left hand G# key.

Also there are Leblanc, like resotone 3"s that use these springs. Sometimes on the throat tone A key.

I haven't been able to find a source.

Many techs have loads of old keys that they can refit to your clarinet. Or they could solder your key back.
Another way is ebay. If you are lucky, you might find the same model clarinet as you have with some problem- big crack, missing barrel, etc. These will not have a very high price .

Rite, S G, thats the best/easiest/?cheapest? way, most techs keep "junkers" and mps/barrels for just this purpose, and can fit the replacement key far better than I/we can.

Thanx, Mark, Don

Make sure you don't get Bundy keys mixed up with Signet keys.

Although they're both interchangeable, Bundy keys have domed tops to the pad cups and Signet keys have pointed tops to their pad cups.
