= ) Hi my name is...
This is my clarinet.
She doesn't have a name yet. My old clarinet was Alfred. The piano is Irena. My bassoon is Lucille. Lucille has a little key that always looses its pad; the key's name is Gerard. I was thinking Johanna for my clarinet. (no, I don't walk around talking to my instruments, it's just fun to name them.)
Pad Saver
Similar to the ones you can buy for saxophone. This is put inside the clarinet after each playing to soak up the moisture built up in the tone holes.
Not recommended to buy as the material can come off and stick to the moist pads, a pull through will be good enough.
