I'm just now reading this (as I am a relatively new user of the BBoards) but thought I'd give my input anyway. I did not play my clarinet from 1983 until 2006. That's a VERY LONG TIME! I picked it up in September 2006 when my husband said "I'll join the church choir IF and ONLY IF you will join the orchestra!" He has a WONDERFUL Baritone voice! It sounded like a challenge to me and I'm usually up for a good challenge. So I dusted off my clarinet, took it to the shop for new corks and pads, and began to play again. It's kind of like riding a bicycle. You don't really "forget how" you're just a little rusty at first. My lips, cheeks, jaw, and other parts were SORE the first few weeks and I thought I'd NEVER be able to breathe again! But I have since gotten all the parts and my lungs back into shape and am playing as well as I did in High School. Just keep at it and you'll do fine!
