Rebecca,
The only reason I would worry about your clarinet is how new it is. From what
I've been told, it takes about a year for the wood to become really stable and
less likely to crack. I used to play on a 30 year old Buffet, and I've done
outdoor concerts in 80 degree weather (although I wouldn't recommend doing
that very often...) without it cracking. But I am very nervous about taking
my new clarinet (I've had it for about 9 months) outside.
List, am I correct about the wood taking time to stabilize? That's just
something someone told me once.

Robyn
