JRC- I agree completely that an instrument gets 'blown-in". I'm just not convinced that they get 'blown-out'. I play Lorée CR-75 which I bought in the middle '60s and it still plays as well as ever. Marc Lifschey played it a few years back while he was still alive and commented, "Yup, it still has it."
Now it may have changed over time and I may have changed to accommodate it, but that doesn't explain another sophisticated player feeling like it was still a good instrument.
Yes, Goodwinds, there is still mystery and black magic in the music world...
