The term "factory sealed" clarinet makes no sense. None, zero, nada......

If there IS such a thing, I wouldn't want one.

Think about it. From the factory, it has been on a truck, then a conveyor
belt, then on an airplane, then on another conveyor, then on another truck, then
in a warehouse, then on another series of trucks and conveyors.

Then it appears at your door!

It's been banged, jiggled, vibrated, etc. What makes ANYONE think that it is
in the same shape as it was when it left the factory? (Assuming it was
adjusted correctly in the factory.)

Somewhere in this sequence, I want somebody to OPEN the case, play on the
clarinet, and ADJUST it for me.

Can we be done with this nonsense? We're not dealing with reality here folks!
