Re: Know Your Clarinet!

Boehm system Clarinets have perhaps the simplest keywork of the major woodwind instruments, so are a good introduction instrument for anyone wanting to get started doing woodwind repairs from the most basic right up to the most advanced.

While some education authorities send their teachers on courses to learn basic woodwind repairs, the work carried out is only as good as the person's aptitude to the task their faced with.

If you want to get your way around basic clarinet repairs, then a decent quality instrument is best to learn on and more rewarding as opposed to a cheap Chinese one that will have all manner of factory defects.

But in any case if you find you're getting well in over your head, seek professional advice or help.
