Hi all- came here to see if anyone could help me with a project. I recently purchased a vintage Noblet Eb alto clarinet that I am preparing to send off to get overhauled. My technician is confident that he'll be able to work on all aspects of the instrument, except for one key detail- a previous owner of the instrument glued the middle joint together very tightly. Both him and I aren't exactly sure what it might take to remove the glue and have concerns about damaging the instrument. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this kind of scenario? And would it be better to just leave the joint as is rather than trying to separate it? Thanks in advance.
