I know what you mean about Clavietta prices, but there are occasional bargains to be found. The best one I have is playable and was $175. My “parts” Clavietta I originally bought thinking I’d try to refurbish it, but since then I’ve gotten two more with better washers and gaskets. I still have this one apart, which is how I would send it. It was not playable, but the reeds appear to be in very good condition and all intact. I’ll send you an email with a couple of photos.
