"... there are brand new clarinets that can do with being professionally overhauled (even pro models) as they're not well finished by the factory that made them.
If anyone's buying a used clarinet, buy from a reputable seller who guarantees their instruments and their work, or expect to have it fully overhauled if buying from anywhere else.
And if anyone doing their research is reading this, factor in the cost of a full overhaul on any used clarinet you buy. And that's me being helpful."

Thank you, Chris!

You are absolutely right. I bought two clarinets from the action site and both were not as described.

Bought two new clarinets (Bb and later A)- both had sticking tenons and the A did not hold suction. I have not taken apart the A yet, but the Bb had at least one questionable tone hole…
