Hi Bill,

That's lovely to know more about you. I am in Cambridge, UK. I was a bioinformatician collaborating with MGI for a long time, and that's how I came to know the area.

That's amazing that you had an E.J. Albert too. What a coincidence! I would love to restore mine too. I've had it repadded three times and I use a long barrel on it to bring it into tune, but it needs more work I think because the notes are not all in tune and I can't sound high B and C really reliably. It has a lovely pure sound though, more like an oboe than my modern clarinet.

I'd love to hear more about your restoration work if you have time to post about it on here. It's such an interesting subject and must surely become more important as the need to preserve the equatorial trees is becoming so urgent.

Best wishes,

Jennifer
