Re: Arthritic joints and keywork

Henry -

The late oboist Josef Marx had rheumatoid arthritis that made his finger joints swell up to the size of golf balls. The repairman Carl Sawicki did extensive key modifications that let him continue to play. Carl is a wonderful bassoonist and a good guy, with a genius for keywork. He does mainly oboes and bassoons, but I'm sure he could do clarinet work, too, or at least refer you to someone who can.

Good luck.
