broken clarenet

Post Reply New Topic

what do you do when your clarenets messed up and you have a concert the next day. your parents are away, your brother is playing a concert himself and you aren't close enough to walk.

What's wrong with your clarinet? I keep a set of screws in my case along with a jeweller's screwdriver to make simple repairs. But if it's something like a cracked mouthpiece then that's rougher.

When you say you aren't close enough to walk, where do you need to get to?

im not close enough to walk to the music and arts store, plus the fact im' sick and if i miss the concert ill' 40 points leaving me at about a D- ! i losed a major pad on my clarenet. i dont' have any repair kits.

am i destined not to go or what

Talk to your director and ask for their assistance in fixing it; there are a number of temporary ways to fix a loose pad, but it has been about ten years since I've done anything but percussion repair. I don't trust my memory for something I only did occasionally/part time that long ago.
