What's the worst clarinet you've ever seen (beat up, smelly, etc...)?
Just yesterday I was handed a case for a Buffet E11.
"Wow, this is light," I said.
"I found part of a clarinet," my director said.
"Part?" I asked.
I opened the case which by the way was falling apart only to find the bottom joint and bell!! ??????????
This E11 was only about 5 years old or so, but every key was pretty much bent. The left pinky B's platic pin was broken in half, the rod for the left C was bent at a 150 degree angle rather than a straight 180. They were all scratched up, there was a thick film on the silver, it looked like someone tried to carve the wood away above the tenon. Oh and the bell was cracked. It was appauling. I'm gonna be pretty pist at the owner of that one on Monday.
