Couple old wood clarinets that I ran across on eBay. Found a clarinet tech that repads, new cork and total key calibrations for under $100.00 each, even oils and buffs the wood. One condition to his price is no amature tech has shortcut repairs and left a glue mess with missing or bent parts from forcing it back together. These two passed as 50 year old closet clarinets, untouched, easy fix. Told me I was lucky because these amature super glue tech's are everywhere trying to flip instuments like houses.
Nice find papa ! :-)
They're giving them away on eBay. Got another one today, will post. Much newer and looks never used.
