Re: Breaking-in a new clarinet

Peter Eaton has a good breaking-in section in his 'Clarinet Care' page in his website

http://www.eatonclarinets.freeserve.co.uk/

He took time with me (perhaps cautious of my amateurness) to go through the whole swabbing routine, and also said that for the first 6 weeks to not play for more than an hour, and to always warm the top joint in your hands before playing. The first winter a clarinet is played through is also a time to keep an eye on sudden exposure to different temperatures.
