Re: When to get clarinet repaired?

You should've had it repaired a month ago at the latest - you're leaving it until the very last minute which is a bad idea. Do you honestly believe any repairer will have it ready within a week if you take it to them and they're already busy?

You really ought to know when you've got an audition and should get your clarinet serviced well before that so you've got time to get used to how it plays afterwards so there won't be any surprises for you.

If your clarinet isn't ready in time for the audition or lets you down before or during the audition, then you've only got yourself to blame for not getting it seen to much earlier.

I always advise anyone to have their instruments serviced at least a month in advance of an exam, audition, concert, recital, etc. to be sure it is playing at its best.

Plan ahead next time.
