Re: Say I messed up breaking in a clarinet

Of course all posts made here are opinions, so mine is no different in that.

However I think it is wrong to suggest that a sensible "breaking in" period is a myth.

Many experienced makers and players do support the principle of playing in a new instrument, so to disagree with them suggests that the poster has some privileged information that the makers don't have, in which case it would be nice to hear what that information is.

Yes, my opinion, based on 64 years of owning and playing clarinets, plus 25 years as a professional repairer and 10 years assisting a maker of hand crafted professional clarinets, is that sensible breaking in is indeed a good idea.
