Re: Need R13 overhaul recommendation

I would not recommend Bernd Schille! I had my Buffet S1 overhauled by him in december including new silver plating. I had personal contact with him since he had his shop/study in a town not far from mine. I fetched the clarinet in late december. It seemed to be a nice work and the silver plating was excellent.
But. After christmas and new year, in january, when I took up playing again I discovered a severe leak making altissimo playing impossible. I took contact with Schille - and discovered that he had suddenly moved to Riga. He told me that he would arrange UPS transport for my clarinet for repair. But that never happened. When I kept asking him about it he suddenly stopped answering. I continued trying to make contact over FB, but then he threw me out from his contacts.
I had to make a repair, very succesfully, at Jonas Näslund in Stockholm. Five different adjustments was needed to make my clarinet playable again.
I am very disappointed and I feel that it's important to inform you all about this.
Best regards.
Magnus Börjesson/Sweden
