okie, went to the CC today to meet some friends ..than headed down to accent music after that ..i told the sales lady at the counter that i called earlier onregarding my clarinet bell ..so she asked for the bell, and showed it to the repair man ..he took a look at it, and told her to call their boss ..well, the boss was sort of amazed at the cracks ..he kept looking and looking at it, rotating the bell and stuff ..and he just said, i never seen or heard of anything like this before ..and than he asked whether i dropped it, and i replied, you can be dead sure i didnt drop or knock it into anything at all ..he was nice enough though to tell me what he would do,and was patient enough to answer all the questions i threw ..at the end, i asked for the backun bell catalogue and he showed it to me ..he even brought out the new Backun-Leblanc Candenza clarinet ..that one comes with 2 barrels, one is cocobolo and the other grendialla ..cant spell it, anyway its the wood used to make the clarinet bodies ..very beautiful wood grain designs ..bought 2 vandoren 56 reeds, and handed the bell over to him ..he said they would contact leblanc and would get back to me within 2 or 3 days, and if they were willing to provide a new bell,it would take another 5 or 6 days for the new one to arrive ..feel like trying out the Candenza for fun actually hahah ..but than again, its no point as its not the one with the backun bell ..the Symphonie and the other one, i think Legacy has it ..so its pretty new in singapore haha ..he couldn't give me the catalogue as that was his only piece ..they have not even ordered in any bells or barrels yet hahah ..was looking at the backun traditional bell, pure black ..not to attractive but thats why i like it besides the quality ..dun wanna be too striking, plus its supposed to be better ..anyway, shall wait for news of my bell, man i cant wait ..
