Question
I have a clarinet from my youth that has a number #C 6471, early sixties? Is it worth restoring? It needs pad work.
Hello and thanks for writing! If possible, please provide photos of your clarinet for additional information as there are many different Buescher model clarinets and photos would be essential to providing accurate information to you! Please send any photos to me at info@foreverwoodwinds.com . Hope that helps! Thanks -Suzie

Experience
I have been fixing and reselling flutes (both young and old!) for the last 5 years and occasionally some other woodwinds on occasion. I've been well acquainted with antique oboes, clarinets, and most flutes (including piccolos and fifes) and should be able to help with most questions.
Education/Credentials
A few years ago, I attended a technical college for a band instrument repair course. After I left the college, I began educating myself on antique flutes, clarinets and oboes and continue to try helping people with their instruments. I'm able to provide an estimate of the value of the instrument(s) as well as an estimate for restoration of the instrument(s). If you have a very important question and/or I haven't written back to your question within a few days, please feel free to give me a call at any time on my cell phone: 570-236-7054. Thanks!
