The other day I heard the instructor of woodwinds out at the college state that his Buffet was blown out and he had to get a new one. I've heard this term befor but I'm not sure exactly what they're referring to. Is the key work getting to worn and sloppy or is there a problem with the wood?

Willie, there are some discussions on this topic already in the archives. I found them by clicking on KLARINET ARCHIVES and then do a search for "blowout." Michael

There's a good article about this on the Online Clarinet Resource as well. It states the point of view that "blowing out" is a myth, so keep that in mind when you read it. In my experience, I've never tried a clarinet that seemed to me to be "blown out"--I've played on clarinets over thirty years old that had extensive use, and the quality seemed as good as new horns.

Thanks y'all. This kinda had my couriosty up as I own and play several old klarinets that have more miles on them that the average tractor-trailer rig. The only one I've had that I totally gave up on had keys & pins so badly worn that I used it for parts.
