Hi Ian,
I stil say keep your Louis instruments - and one day you will find the time to overhaul them. Meanwhile they will not deteriorate - and what fantastic clarinets they are! Mine show now sign at all of wear to the silver plating, which must be incredibly thick and infinitely superior to any plating which is applied today. And likewise the workmanship. Keep them; and if you dont have time to renovate them till then, they will wait for you. Wait for your retirement and then put them into ordr, play them, and love them!

Interesting that you were brought up in Watford. Actually I do not know why they have located my ISB (whatevfer that means - I have no idea) at Potters Bar: I left it blank not knowwing what any of those initials sood for. But actually I was born and bred in the north of Hertfordshire, 5 miles from Hitchin; and much later, when my father retired, we did live for a few years in Abbots Langley, not far from Watford.
If I could locate your mail address (everybody seems to know mine), I could send this to you by email and not bore everybody else on BBoard! with it!
Best wishes, and apologies to anybody who has unnecessarily read this and been bored stiff by it, Peter
