Hi Anna,
Sorry but I must disagree with some of the advice given above particularly with the suggested hourly rate or approximate amount you must charge. While you have had success with your own instruments, doing repairs or adjustments on a customer's instruments is a totally different situation. Do you have the correct repair supplies like pads, the necessary tools, proper size cork and springs, and access to any of the other parts/items (screws, cement/glue, etc.) that might be needed in the course of your work on this instrument?
You mention that you "haven't attempted a complete overhaul and neither do I have much experience with major key adjustments" and that you are not a repair person. There could be some issues that you might encounter that could really be difficult and/or you have never seen before.
I got some great advice from my father who said "one must know what not to do." The idea above about a dinner or some other way for the clarinet owner to repay you for you efforts was a good thought.
