When you get a new clarinet, how do you "make it yours"? It's not about paying and all that, it's more about how to "assimilate" that new kid on the block?
I bought a nearly unused horn off an auction site (no, not that one) but had to recork and repad it at the very least, partly because cork grease must have been an utterly foreign concept to the former owner, but also as a kind of initiation rite. I admit I feel a bit like Adrian Monk for doing such a thing, but it is my way of getting friends with a new item. (Yes, I'll reformat the disk of a newly acquired computer as well)
How do you do it? Just unpack it and get going?
