Blow out only exists in your trained minds. Anyone who beleives in blow out
heard it from someone else, most likely a former teacher or "authority" on
clarinets. This is the same reason vibrato was discarded on the clarinet - a
tradition passed on to us by small thinking "great" teachers. If I told you
I'm the son of God, would you beleive me? If a clarinet is suddenly not
playing the way it used to, the problem is usually mechanical (minus bore,
tonehole damage). My clarinet was perfect a week ago, but had to be adjusted
yesterday because the low register was not responding. The material the
keys, pads, etc., are made out of are inferior - so expect problems. Blow
out is an excuse to buy a new clarinet. If you beleive it is true, it cannot
be a lie! On the Morales thing, any negative comments @-----. 'Nuff
said.

P.S. I am the son of God. I accept check, money order, Visa, Mastercard,
Discovery. Sorry, no American Express!
