The other night, I picked up my Evette & Schaeffer Modele and began playing. At first, everthing was fine, hen suddenly it all went south. I couldn't get the horn to play on key or in tune. I had just finished practicing with my Opus so I knew I was playing the correct transposed key.
I'm going to bring the clarinet to the repair shop this weekend. Only thing is, it was given to me, so before I lay out a lot of money, I want to make sure I know what the technician should be looking for. I had one store look the Opus over. They didn't catch anything. It needed new pads, keys were bent, screws were loose, etc. Today, it's a force to reckon with.
The pads on the E&S are new, I looked for any bent keys (nothing obvious), loose screws, etc.
Can you suggest what else I should be checking?
Thanks,
M
