i might be different, but once you set your mind on something, don't stop.

WaffleCake:
you could maybe consult your music teacher if you're having issues with your instrument
i may not be involved in band but i am a viola player
do you also clean it regularly? i'm not sure if this will effect the quality of the notes coming out of the instrument but it is a good habit to keep with any and all instruments

>School-issued.
Honestly this might be a problem. Usually school-issued instruments are not as well-kept. Although double reeds by nature are difficult to work with, there is a good possibility of at least one leak.
