 Re: Any ideas for bringing a "blown out" instrument back to life?

Mr. Brady's post about Guy Chadash made me remember my visits to a remarkable woodwind technician, Dan Sagi: with each clarinet I've brought him for work, he always checks the bore of both the barrel and upper joint, and if he detects something 'off' about the response, he very gently re-reams the bore to return it to roundness. The improvement in response is always noticeable, even for a dunce like me. (And this refers only to parts of the bore accessible with a hand-reamer, not a complete rebore--something I've never tried.)

I'm beginning to think that the term 'blown out' is just a catch-all phrase to describe the many ways an instrument can go out of whack over time and usage, only some of which might apply solely to changed bore dimensions. So many moving parts! So many of them variable with temperature, humidity and age! And, I'd guess, each 'blown out' instrument may have unique ways that it no longer plays its best.

Fascinating thread!
