„...one could approach the problem from the side of cause“:
I wonder why cracks here in this forum are a permanent complaint with modern clarinets even from top manufacturers. I suspect that this might have to do with high output, less availability of first class wood, shorter blank drying time and kiln drying. Older instruments from top quality workshops with low output that stored their blanks for many years seem less prone to cracking: In this respect I am happy with my F.A.Uebel instruments. F.A.Uebel's serial numbers only run from about 5000 (1936) to 17000 (1960). My three Uebels (8642, 11313, 17196) don't show any cracks.
