I didn't properly break mine in but I disagree with the "restarting if you miss a day." Just make sure when you start playing off, do it in increments and absolutely make sure to swab. If you clarinet swells and you can't take any joints off, take it to the shop, they can fix it. I didn't take mine to the shop and in the middle of an audition my barrel cracked as I was swabbing right before. I don't have a case cover for me, I don't believe it makes that big of a difference as long as you have a good case and you store your clarinet in a good place. My clarinet doesn't have a case cover and is just fine. And humidifiers, I believe you only really need them if your climate is just wacky. If I was in Arizona or somewhere like that I would get one. But if you really want to be safe, you could always leave a small piece of a damp sponge in your case. But I believe the most important part of having a new wooden clarinet is to swab it out. Make sure your swab is a swab that doesn't get stuck around the register tube. My clarinet came with a Selmer Series 10 swab that just continually got stuck with my register tube so I got a new silk one. When you do get your new clarinet, go on and get a new mouthpiece. The ones that come with the Rapsodie aren't all that great. Try a Vandoren 5RV Lyre with Vandoren 3-3.5.
