Hi there, I really need some help please. Just returned from a carboot where I thought it was a good idea to buy a clarinet for my sons so they could try it out. Ok it didn't have a mouthpiece but id seen on eBay previously that these aren't too pricey and as the instrument only cost £7 it hasn't broke the bank yet!

The difficulty I have however is two fold. Firstly please excuse my ignorance as I know nothing at all about clarinets!
1) the top bit with buttons on keeps coming off - I'm assuming there some cork missing that's keeps it in place?
2) I can't see how a mouthpiece can fit on the top as the connection point is tiny with a hole approx 7mm. Is this usual?

Any advice would be gratefully received.
By the way the make says its a Boosey & Hawke, London, Regent. There's a number on it that says 318281 if that means anything?

Thanks, Bev x
