 Re: Clarinet Blown Out or Wrong Mouthpiece?

I've always suspected that a "blown out" clarinet is one that needs too much restorative work to be worth the cost. Shop time for a really capable repair tech can be expensive and new clarinets, especially when compared to oboes and bassoons are relatively low-cost. Hans Moennig, who certainly had a good idea of what could be done to reverse the effect of wear and tear on a woodwind, said in interviews I remember reading that no instrument is too old to be restored.

So, maybe when Harold Wright said a clarinet is blown out within ten years (I actually thought the number he gave was lower), he may have been saying simply that bringing a heavily-played clarinet back up to its original specs was not worthwhile compared to replacing it.
