The other night at rehearsal, several of us got in a discussion about cracked clarinets.
The discussion centered around whether a new instrument is more prone to cracking than an older one. When do instruments typically crack? We all agreed the care, storage, use, and maintenance is a huge factor, but let's say those are constants in the equation, for the sake of discussion.
One person made the comment that she would never buy a used clarinet because you never know how it was cared for, therefore it could crack. Someone else said that if there isn't a crack in a 30 year old clarinet, it probably won't crack. A third person said a new instrument is more prone to cracking.
Anyone have a clarinet that developed a crack? Was it newer? Older? Any conditions that you can identify that caused it? Would love to share your thoughts and experiences with my band mates.
