Re: Temperature for outdoor playing

I could certain see the need, given the time of year, for their to be temperature limits so as to protect players and their expensive instruments, forgetting how intonation might suffer as well.

That said, it's times likes those,

especially if its raining and muddy, and marching is involved, that I like to use one of my many (did I mention I own many...in Coccobolo and Gold Keys naturally) Backun CG Carbon Professional Clarinets for the gig.

At a mere entry level starting price of $13K per horn, the instrument's practically a throw away, right into the trash can after a single outdoor performance. The carbon fiber is particularly light for marching, and helps keep the horn dimensionally stable for the concert.

Besides, for orchestral solos with the "top 5" I like to save my green (think color, not Buffet Green line) clarinet for such engagements.
