 Re: Kessler 2nd Gen Bass Clarinet: Anyone else's falling apart?

I will join in the chorus.

My mid-70's Selmer Paris bass clarinet failed at that same solder joint in its first year or two. Careful repositioning and a few wraps with electrical tape got me through a few gigs before I could get it repaired properly. It was actually quite stable with the temporary repair and played perfectly fine.

After being resoldered by a good tech, it has gone over 45 years with no problems. It WAS rather disconcerting to have that happen to a fairly new instrument from a reputable maker!
