I met the principal clarinetist of one of the London Symphonies several years ago and he was using a 40 year plus instrument. I think it depends on the player, how they take care of it, what adjustments they made, bells and barrels etc, and the environment it is kept in including the weather conditions and climate of the area they live in.
ESP www. Author: Katrina Date: I'm with Ed. My main horn R13 is from I got it in and haven't looked back except when I sent it to the Brannens in or so. Then I had to play the Signet I started on. I have many other clarinets, but can't NOT play this one! John O'Janpa said "Most serious players will at some time succumb to the allure of a newer sexier model with better intonation, better tone, better key action, etc.
Author: Tobin Date: Just to expand a bit from the professionals that I studied with and what I have read pro's comment on hear on the board: Although a pro may buy a new horn lured by a new model, this is not the explanation that I have experienced from them.
It is that they discover over the course of using the instrument for about 10 years that the horn no longer responds in the manner that they would like at the highest level they demand. I'm My Buffet Model 13 is 73 years old. The clarinet is in far better condition than I am. It's only been to the hospital once in the last few years. My Buffet bass clarinet is only eight or nine years old. I doubt I'll even be able to get it "broken in.
Never have I heard him express any concern that they may become "blown out. It's my opinion that any good instrument that is cared for properly swabbing after every playing, good storage techniques, and proper maintenance will last much longer than the human on the pointy end of the horn. Remember, though, that opinions are worth exactly what you paid for them!
Enjoy your summer and best wishes. Author: William Date: After 40 yrs of use, my R13s are doing just fine--it's my ears with all the tinnitus that are wearing out. All the hoohaa regarding instrument care aside, think ear plugs And if a player can tell either way.
Author: Wes Date: Yes, I have , ,, , and Buffet soprano clarinets, all of which are simply wonderful to play. The two early ones are full Boehm which I needed a change from but are still fine. Author: Brenda Siewert Date: It's my opinion that a clarinet does come to a point where it is no longer at its optimum playability even after overhauls. It depends upon the instrument, however, and some can last for decades.
It is a conflicted argument as you can see from above comments , but it depends upon how much you play and if you are playing professionally or not. Also, if you have a really good one and it plays just like you want, hold on to it for as long as possible and enjoy!!
Not something to really worry over. You'll know if you need to get another one. Author: William Date: What I really believe is that is isn't a case of the clarinet changing--ie, becoming "blown out" through relentless swabbings, etc--but rather the ears of the player that change through normal aging that gives the aural perception that the sound has changed.
Author: Avie Date: They sell many differant size clarinet bores. Running a silk cloth through the bore even millions of times could possibly change the tone for the better! Blown out? Author: marshall Date: I think the life of a clarinet probably depends on two things.
First, how it is maintained. If you keep your instrument in good humidity and care for it like we've all been taught, it could probably outlive you. If you don't take care of it, it may only last half a decade.
At the beginning level, the plastic mouthpiece that came with your instrument is okay, but after a while it will begin to impede progress. Sometime in the second or third year of study, start thinking about getting a high quality hard rubber mouthpiece such as the Vandoren B It just gets a better tone.
There is a dizzying array of mouthpieces on the market, but unless your band director or private teacher has a preference, just stick with the excellent and well known Vandoren B The Key Ingredient The most important element is the player.
Remember the clarinet is just a two pound hunk of metal and wood until the player makes it come alive. If the player is not doing things right, embouchure, breath support, hand position then even the best instrument won't help. If the player is mastering the fundamentals, then he or she will outgrow that student plastic instrument at some point.

Used Clarinets. Student Instrument These are the entry level instruments for the student in the first 2—3 years of study. Our pick for the best professional clarinet for musicians who are just beginning to ramp up their career is the Buffet Crampon R13 Professional Bb Clarinet. Harold Wright said that for professional players, a clarinet can only last for about 10 years? I would like to hear some comments about this statement. Clarinets are a dime a dozen, and like cars they lose half their value once purchased, no matter if you drove it or not.
Not necessarily. Of course it will need to be overhauled every decade or so but your instrument is definitely not a ticking time bomb.
It is a longtime favorite of band programs and beginning and intermediate musicians eveywhere.
