I'm looking at a clarinet to purchase for my daughter. It's been in
storage for several years, and the person selling it doesn't know if
it's wood or plastic. A friend of mine who has had experience with this
sort of thing says that if I float the clarinet in a bathtub of water it
will designate whether it's made of wood or plastic, the wood type
floating higher and longer. My question to you is, does it matter how
many inches of water there are in the tub, and is the temperature of the
water crucial to the float?
Thanks,
Carol
