Wearing out a clarinet

Author: BAC <-used to be Barry

I have heard that people think that clainets wear out. Just a few topics ago, someone stated that Richard Stolzman buy new clarinets often due to his wearing out. In that same thread, another stated that the clarinet that Prinz uses in the VPO could be "turn-of-the-century ones hand-made by Oskar Oehler for the VPO and handed down from one generation to the next"

Perhaps clarinets just need to get re-adjusted, or if real old, new keys. I have a master model that was made in the early 1950's, and it sounds like a new R13, but the keys are not as tight.

What think ye on this topic -- clarinet blow out -- is it hype used by those looking for an excuse to buy the latest (I can relate to that! ) or fact do to either the wood changes and no longer sounds right, or just mechanical wear?
