Subj: Cracks & warrantees?!
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 1995 00:22:03 -0500

I've a question that relates to whether to buy a new clarinet, or used.
Its my understanding that I could buy a new clarinet, pay $1400, $2000 or
whatever, and if it develops a crack, all that the warrantee will cover
is to pin or band the crack. If this is true, wouldn't I be better off
buying a quality used instrument, with the thought that if the instrument
hasn't cracked after several years, its less likely to develop a crack
then a new, untested instrument?!
