 Has Your New Buffet Recently Cracked? A quick poll
Author: GBK 
Date:   2002-01-13 05:26

There has been much talk on this board on the frequency of new wood clarinets cracking in their first 3 years. Whether this is due to the declining quality in grenadilla, poor aging/drying techniques, or other factors, it seems to be a bigger problem than ever before.

If you have bought a NEW BUFFET (and I'm only choosing Buffet because they sell the majority of clarinets) within the last 3 YEARS please respond with a:

YES - I experienced a crack in the wood of my Buffet
NO - All is fine, no cracks in my Buffet

I know this is hardly scientific, but if we get 20, 30, or 50 or more answers, perhaps this can give us some indication on the percentage of new clarinets cracking. Like the Nielsen (TV) ratings, maybe a small sampling will reveal some interesting data.

All of my Buffet clarinets (11) were purchased more than 3 years ago, and never experienced ANY type of cracking problem, so I am not able to post.

Thanks. If you care to share a brief story, please don't hesitate...GBK
