 The Attributes of a Blown Out Clarinet
Author: ThatPerfectReed 
Date:   2014-02-01 06:50

Whether clarinets in fact become worn out, be it from a combination of use and/or age??? seems well debated in this board's archives with most people believing that with enough use (not abuse) you can degrade a clarinet to a point where overhaul/restoration will still not yield a horn with proper intonation/sound/harmonics etc .

But how do you know that state of permanent disrepair has arrived? Is it bore size increases, is it failure for the horn to perform for multiple experienced players, that once sang like a bird, even after overhaul by an equally capable tech?

What was it about your overblown horn that had you reaching for the shovel to bury it or a nearby "revolver" to euthanize it? I'm not talking about the unplayable clarinet here that "had a metaphorical catastrophic stroke" and developed a joint splitting longitudinal (lengthwise) crack.

I'm talking about the horn you had a "long talk with at the kitchen table, showing it brochures of this wonderful clarinet nursing home that would take care of it because you no longer could."

(No disrespect meant to a real conversation that I and many others here have had with loved ones.)
