I was in such a rush on Friday that I left my clarinet in my schools music room, and there is no way of getting it. I think I'm about to die! I need to play, I need to feel the keys beneath my fingers. Oh how I will never EVER forget my Clarabelle again.
the very music deprived,
Melissa

She's a student Yamaha, that plays a really sharp E, and needs new corks desperately lol. I love her to pieces though, and since she is all I can afford I'm happy to have her, but I have snuck a few peeks at my instructors R13 a few times (I have told my teacher to make sure she locks her case up tight before I come for lessons )

I know the feeling. My Sebastien (Bb) is sick at the moment. He coughs out notes that are 20 cents sharp! (See my post...) His big brother Jaques (A) is all stressed out over it, but is making it through. If I can't get him fixed I think I will have a proper funeral for him. All who attend this board are invited to pay their respects!

I haven't been without my horn yet, but I feel your pain, and it's getting ready to go in the shop for a repad, so I guess I'll be suffering withdrawal too, although I still have my saxes.

Easy solution: get more clarinets. And your spare does not have to be great, only competent. Can't tell you how many jobs I have played on my spares. My wife is the same way - her Yamaha spare has saved the day several times when her Powell flute was in the shop. Your main instruments should be wonderful, but the spares just need to be OK. My spare A clarinet is an old wood Artley; every so often I will bring it along for someone I am playing with to use, and they say it is just fine.
One time in the 1970's a really great sax player friend asked to borrow my old American Standard alto while his was in the shop. (FYI AS only makes plumbing fixtures now.) He took a few licks on it, let out this immense squack, and looked at it scratching is head. "!!No high F key!!" Sure, but it kept him playing for three weeks during an overhaul and replate.

Perhaps, Ralph, you did not read Melissa's second post.
"She's a student Yamaha.... I love her to pieces though, and since she is all I can afford I'm happy to have her".
A second instument, "second" to her "wonderful" one is not really an option!

I had my Muffin stolen once.... I found him in a second-hand shop for about 1/10th of what he's actually worth, funny how the shop didn't even know it was a 2 year old R13?
God bless my Muffin, the gayest clarinet that ever was...!
