From: Ryan Lowe <ryan@-----.EDU> Subj: lifespan of clarinet Date: Fri, 14 Feb 1997 04:27:02 -0500
Sorry, but this is a little late in the conversation. Mel Warner (NIU)
instructed me to purchase a new clarinet every five or so years...no
matter how well you treat the one that you have. I was just
wondering...why? I know all of the wear and tear theories. Would a
greenline last a shorter or longer time than a normal R13 because it is
made of compost (or composite, whatever you want to call it)?
Thanks in advance
Kumquat
