Re: Say I messed up breaking in a clarinet

Breaking in is a myth....it is unnecessary to the health of you new instrument. Its best just to play it normally from the start and make the necessary adjustments all new clarinets need after they settle in. No amount of "break in " process will prevent the natural changes that occur in any new instrument. And nothing you can do will prevent a clarinet from cracking except not exposing it to extreme sudden temperature changes and swabbing after every use. Oiling the bore once a year may also be advised, although I never do it and have never had any of my 7 pro level clarinets crack. New clarinets are a blessing and should be enjoyed...play happily without fear.
