I have a question relating to weather. Which clarinet material would fare better in the tropics where the heat and the humidity are high almost all year around? Wood, plastic, hard rubber, etc?
I have heard of fungal growths inside of wooden clarinets.
Also, would stainless steel springs be better than blue steel springs in this kind of environment since they won't rust?
Would synthetic pad material be best?
Or, if I just never closed the case, would it make any difference what the instrument was composed of?
This may be a rather unusual question, but I really do want to know.
Again, thanks in advance.
