Re: Thinking about a new clarinet soon

I have a 15 year old, regular R13 Eb that I sent up to Morrie Backun to overhaul. The intonation had really fallen apart on the instrument over time; he put the bore back to spec (I have no idea how he got Buffet-spec reamers; I would kill to get my hands on that kind of kit...) and did a bit of tuning/voicing work on it - and it plays in tune right at 440. Hell, it responds like a really good Bb now. The problem with bore work is that it's irreversible, but if the horn is so sharp that it's continually causing problems, it might be your only option.

It's a lot cheaper than getting a new instrument... and Morrie is really good about explaining what he's going to do and why. It might be worth talking to him about it before you pick up a new set of instruments.
