 Help- mysteriously broken clarinet
Author: superson 
Date:   2010-09-25 14:38

Hi- I need a bit of technical help.

My clarinet's been a bit dodgy all week- nothing particularly wrong just that it sounds different and has been a bit harder to blow. Today after playing for a while, it suddenly just deteriorated until i couldn't make a sound at all. I changed reeds a few times, took it apart and put it back together, checked screws and springs and keys were okay, pulled a cleaner cloth through it, but nothing obvious was wrong. If I just blowed the mouthpiece and barrel it still made a sound. It sort of fixed itself but then died again soon after.

I'm not a technical person and know nothing about the technical side of clarinets. I was going to take it to repairs anyway because the corks are deteriorating. I just want to know if anyone thinks they know what's wrong or if the corks may be a reason why my clarinet is playing up.

Thanks for any help.
