Re: New Clarinet Question

Reading and hearing about other peoples dreadful experiences with new clarinets and saxophones has been very depressing. The thoughts of having to grind, braze and bend new keys is overwhelming. It makes me feel that the new clarinet market is a suckers market.It also diminishes my respect for my professional clarinets.
Among my several older clarinets are several keys that I would like to have more movement for wider opening, especially trill keys. Until now I thought that would be foolish and destructive. After reading about people having to do that on new professional instruments I feel much more comfortable about making key modifications on my lower value clarinets.
