 Re: I might be ruining my fingers and tendons slowly but surely

I use an old model YCL 221 in meh condition. It's fine to play, I guess. My parents do not particularly wish to buy or refurbish a bass clarinet (with good reason, I suppose), and I'm leaving soon, anyway.

I guess this is my whole story:
I'm a senior in high school in the USA.
I've been playing clarinet and other assorted woodwinds for about 8 years and I think I'm pretty reasonable for a high school player. I've been offered some music scholarships to (I believe) 3 schools, but nothing too crazy. My parents are concerned about me going to college for music because they fear that things won't pan out for me, and they fear investing in gear, instruments, even reeds (They've gotten better about that). I've been getting more frustrated lately at the lack of support from a musical standpoint and while I really enjoy music, I'm tired of playing, as certain things make it feel difficult and like a chore. Now I might be developing tendonitis and this seems to be the last straw.

My life is not that bad, this is just my ranting on the internet about some of my problems.

My band director has some trouble with seeing the individuals in my band program. He has favorites, and pays a good amount of attention to those people, and many end up feeling neglected. It's not that he doesn't try, he just forgets sometimes.

This sounds bad right now, but I've been through a lot worse. I'll push through it,
and I'll be fine.

I can play bass clarinet, Eb clarinet, BBb contra, alto saxophone, bassoon at a decent level, and flute in a pinch.
