Steve,
Thanks- it probably would not make "economical" sense to be overhauled by a pro (like mentioned in the post above).

Besides a crack in the bell, I found two more (superficial) cracks on the lower joint.

If my friend has to pay for drilling out one screw and one spring removal + cost of springs and pads, then it would make sense (I am not charging him anything).

Also, no one knows if the bore has changed or not, so it's one thing to spend $150-$200 and find out that the clarinet plays out of tune, or pay $1K and then find out it was not worth doing...

I have done re-pads and springs on mine and friends' clarinets, but nothing big like this.
Will post pics and update on playing once it's done.
