What to expect from a new clarinet

Hi!
Sorry for all the questions recently!
So, in April this year I sold my very old Buffet student clarinet and purchased a Yamaha 650 wooden clarinet.
From the start I had some problems with it and was told by instructor that it had not been set up correctly. I took it back and the store sent it to their repairer who made it worse, and also damaged one of the keys with a pair of pliers.
It came back worse that it started and was then sent back to head office to deal with. After a week or so it came back again, and was fine.
I've now had the clarinet for 8 months and when I was playing it yesterday one of the screws just popped out of the top section.
Now I know one has to do some maintenance etc, but I'm just wondering whether this is normal for a relatively expensive clarinet, or whether perhaps I got a dud?
Thanks
Denise
