Hello,
I have just moved up to an intermediate wooden clarinet. Specifically a
Boosey and Hawkes series 2.20 , manufactured sometime during 1966. This
being my first wooden clarinet, I have a few questions for the list.
1.) It there a process of re-breaking in an older instrument? I believe that
this instrument has sat in the case for anywhere between 5-20 years.
2.)Cosmetically, the instrument could use a coat of polish on the body and
the key work. Any suggestions for doing this, and or brands that will
protect the wood and metal work?
3.) It there anything , aside from a humidifier that I can put into the
clarinet case to make up for our extremely dry climate ( I'm in colorado)?
Thank you in advance,
Kaitlin
