 Re: Does a clarinet “blowout” needing replacement?

I'm not a professional repairer, although I have been restoring and repairing clarinets for about 20 years. I've repaired/restored several instruments that were described as "Blown Out". In all but 2 cases they responded well to cleaning up the tone holes, repadding and adjustment. The exceptions both showed dimensional changes to the wood, beyond my skill level to attempt a fix. It is certainly possible for a clarinet to reach a stage where performance is compromised, but mostly this is due to the quality and characteristics of the wood from which it is made. "Blown Out" is something of a misnomer, it's a process of deterioration and dimensional change over time. I always thought that hard rubber instruments were immune from this condition until I saw one that had spent a summer in a hot car boot. It had a curve along its length. It might have been made from banana wood.
