When you switch to a different (new) instrument, the "breaking in" period is really, very much, you getting used to accoustical properties of the "new" instrument and learning how to cope with those "certain" notes and resistance tendencies of register changes, etc, etc. There is also the problem of breaking in the key mechanizms so that they are up to speed and not stiff, as most new clarinets are. If it were me, for the above reasons, I would not want to perform in a solo situation on a clarinet that I was unfamiliar with. A wind ensemble situation I could accept, but not a solo. My advice is to have your cracked clarinet repaired--pinned or glued, whichever is deemed best by your repairperson--and then, after your required performances, make the decision wheither to purchase new or not. Good clarineting!!!!!!!!!
