Possible David, but I had a C clarinet made in the late 1800s and
David Niethamer owns it now. I played it for 30 years, and whoever
owned it before me played it for a long while, etc. It is not blown
out. I had a basset horn dating from ca. 1910 and it wasn't blown
out. I'm asking David if he thinks his 100 year old C clarinet
that has been worked hard for a century is blown out.
