[QUOTE="PigSquealer, post: 496286, member: 8047"] I did this case renovation a while back. A few pictures posted here and there but nothing of the complete build. Sometimes there are no options for a aftermarket replacement case. So this is what happens when you try to restore what you have. It’s very time consuming but in this case (pun intended )worth it. This is a case to a 1933-ish H. Bettoney metal clarinet. Initial inspection it looked like it just needed a few spots of glue.
