maintenent new rubber clarinet

Author: spikey1973

Hey To all,,

I have a (budget) hard rubber Bb clarinet coming my way.
I am completely new to playing the clarine (at an age of just not 50), so I felt like start with a student kind of instrument was the way to go, still ABS was not my thing.

Did get my self some vandoren blue reed's from 1,5 to 3,5 just to see what accommodates me best.. starting low ofcourse and expectingnothing special from the mouthpiece.

I expect that reed supplied with the clarinet is something mess around with first.. to feel around and then quickly hop pver to the 1,5 van doren, ofcourse focussing on my embouchure (still a strange word) fisrt..

My mayor question is what to do with the rubber clarinet.
I understand it is not like a wooden version, so it will not absorb the condensation like wood would, so i guess I wont have to limit my play to15min a day at start. But cleaning during / after paying still seems usefull to me for more reasons. What about the fluids in the tone holes, specifically the pads. how about temperature and other thingsi am unaware of I should take in account.

so basically i am looking for rubber instrument specific maintenance advice.

Kindest greats

Matthieu
