Hello!!

I am wondering if I should have my clarinet repaired or if I should look for an used clarinet for my son. My clarinet needs new pads, bent keys at pinky holes I think - doesn't close all the way, new cork, etc...

It's a buffet student edition I think, given the plated keys. At one point I knew the date on this thing.

This clarinet was recommended to me when I was 12 (I'm 42 now) by my teacher, Salvatore Andolina, of the Buffalo philharmonic.
