Karl's point about testing the validity of a repair is well taken: the proof's in excellent repaired end product and satisified customers, more than a tech's particular testing methodology (not to write off the latter either.)
But to point, are we talking about how to test a repaired instrument, or perhaps more globally, how to test new and used clarinets, otherwise already in (we hope) a state of good repair, for the purpose of seperating "the winners from the duds," prior to purchase.
The bboard has a plethora of 411 on what such latter testing involves. Merely one such attribute: say intonation, could easily occupy a full thread here (and already has.)
By way of metaphor, testing a clarinet at "60 mph" is valid. We wish to see how it holds up under "highway driving." Is it a "smooth ride?" But a vehicle, clarinet or auto, that conks out at "30 mph," when many roads and music are written for this speed, is equally important, and can go undiscovered when testing involves only putting the "gas pedal to the floor."
