One thing I wonder about the 'blown out' thing is, would it make any difference if the instrument had not been played?
I examined a 160 year old Buffet (either maple or boxwood) and the bore was wavey as the wood shrank more is one spot than the next- I doubt the waves were even possible to make on the machines of the day.
Now looking at a modern clarinet, it is made of wood and wood changes shape over time. If we took 200 clarinets that were made this month and played only 100, would we find that all 200 feel 'blown out' after 10 years? Or would the 100 unused ones feel 'new'?
