I totally disagree with the concept of Blow out on a clarinet. In point of fact I have colleagues who sound great on 50 year old clarinets and play perfectly in tune, so I am not great believer in this idea...that being said I do think that some clarinets need a real reworking type of overhaul and this is where an excellent repair person should come in. The idea of blow out also serves the industry well, for if this does happen then the makers will get much richer. Whether or not the makers think this way it serves a purpose of making money off clarinet players....it also seems that most sax player prefer older instruments as well and I haven't heard of this on a saxophone...maybe its a marketing ploy...
