Re: Constant Issues w/ Bass Clarinet

Once you get it repaired again I suggest the following. Keep moisture in the case during the low humifity seasons, I've done that all my playing life. You can get what's called a Dampit, they are used by string players to keep moisture inside their instruments. Get a large one, the one made for a cello, keep it damp inside the case. The other thing you should do to avoid the instrument moving around so much is to line the inside with a cloth. I use a chamois, the kind they sell to auto parts stores and other places. I just tack it into the case to fit snug to avoid movement. Of course the obvious, don't play a very cold horn until it's become close to room temperature, don't store it near a radiator or heater and don't play it in extreme cold. Good luck.
