The dangers of the wood splitting on a clarinet are oft repeated and most clarinettists seem to take extreme care of their instruments particularly in order to prevent this.
I know that people say they have kept their clarinets dry and well oiled and they have never had a split, but is this like saying that I have sprinkled some anti-elephant powder over by garden and have never had an elephant in it.
Is it possible that the clarinets would not have split anyway?
I have heard that with a clarinet over 15 years old, if it hasn't split by now chances are that it never will.
Is it a myth? how often do wooden clarinets actually split?
(Not that this will stop me being careful..'just in case".)
