Constant Issues w/ Bass Clarinet

Author: JIllinoisBass13

Hello All! I'm new to the forum and this is my first post but I have been having constant issues (arising 1-2 month break in between issues usually) with my instrument.
I'm in high school and I've been playing a Buffet Bass Clarinet (wooden) from my band's supply since September of 2015 and have had multiple issues with my instrument. The instrument seems to be from anywhere from the 70's-90's (I have no clue and I'm pretty sure my band director doesn't either because he started off the same year that I started school there). I have had it sent in once already since January and it is getting sent in tomorrow again because I found 3 large cracks on the instrument. Could these issues be related to me not handling it correctly or is it possibly because of the case? The case is old and it doesn't seem to fit the instrument snugly. I have informed my director of the case possibly contributing to the problem but I would love to not have to send the instrument back in again until next school year.
Thanks,
JIllinoisBass13
