I have never dropped my instrument.
I own it and it was very expensive, so I watch it and hold it with extreme care.
My clarinet is my baby.<3

xXRainListenerXx redheadsrule13 xXRainListenerXx redheadsrule13 xXRainListenerXx I dropped my clarinet durin marching practice and one of my section leaders told me to do twenty pushups sweatdrop (I cheated anyways) I dropped it again when we were packing up, not my falt, a friend of mine (who plays in pit) surprised me from behind. Well...I couldnt play on that clarinet anymore, cause it was soo damaged and I had to buy a new one. It was standing up when someone (another clarinet player) knocked it down on purpose...but it still works...sorta. ^_^ well that's mean when they do it on purpose >:l yea...he was trying to be funny... o.O how can he try to be funny? that can cause serious damage I know... which is why I reported him. I guess he forgets that Im section leader sometimes. (This yr.) oh yeah i'm not even section leader, i'm the last one -_-' the closests i've been to section leader is 3rd chair

One of our newer clarinet players dropped hers and the mouth peice split in two. It scared me so bad that I didnt put my clarinet down the entire game. eek
Our older clarinet player likes to slam her clarinet down in the steel bleachers when she gets mad...and then she wonder how it gets bent up. emo
My friend fell down the bleachers and broke his Sax and his finger. He couldnt play for two months... crying
Ive only dropped my clarinet once. We were in the stands ,and I immediatly rushed it to my band director to make sure nothing was bent. sweatdrop

i dropped my sax at marching band practice a few years ago... the bell and the octive part of the neck piece got all bed out of shape. i brought it to my band director and he bent everything back, but the thing still sounds like s**t... (not that it didn't beforehand, but still XP)

I've dropped my clarinet during marching band practice plenty of times. My mom finally got fed up with having to constantly pay to get it fixed, so I had to work in order to get enough money to buy a new one. >.<
But I guess it was worth it, because it's really shiny and sounds a whole lot better than the one before did, even before I dropped it all those times.

My clarinet is my baby.<3 yeah same here, but another reason is that the clarinet was my moms so yeah i can't break mine, which would be bad..... Same. Mines been in my family for a long time. My aunts and uncles on my moms side played it up until my mom, who kept it(she was second yougnest out of 6) And wooden. Eepers. I have a pet peeve that annoys my section cause now as section elader i take great pride in lecturing them abotu ti: Setting your clarient on tis bell to stand upright. With a stand, tis fien, but not alone. I've seen soemones clarinet fal and snap doign that.

BlackShadow_KillerNinja Lol i play a commpletely diff. instument i play the french horn... an i dropped once and one of the vaulves(srry i cant spell) and it got bent....sooo i had to get another one lol it really sucked! My friend got his horn stepped on. By our band director-_- It got pretty messed up, cause it fell down the stadium. The valves and tubing were completely disconnected from the bell, ti was dented real abd and some of the valves were bent. Luckily it was an old junky one he had been using while we were waiting for another school to loan us a better one for him. So it wasnt a huge loss when it couldnt be repaired.

I've never dropped my bass clarinet, but our idiot tuba player dropped his tuba on the conctrete trying to load it into the bus. There's a two inch dent in the side because he dropped it on a rock too...Poor, poor tuba : (

in middle school i had a friend who dropped her clarinet, and the part on the upper key part, with the cork, just completely broke and less than half of it was left...it kinda sucked...
and slightly related, a month or so ago, we were at a competition and my brother was holding his tenor sax (like he actually owns it, new, pretty nice...yeah...) and there was one of those poles thats only half-height...well, my brother is like 15, and keeps growing, and doesn't realize just how tall he is...and he totally ran into the pole...with his sax...luckily the only comp left was concert, and we have 2 concert bands, so he could borrow one...but my mom was PISSED hahaha until she figured out that the "giant dent" wasn't really that big lol

Well, in my experience, dropping a flute would take a lot of effort and lack of grace, but it is fun to see/hear a trombone slide slide off someone's trombone every other day.

I tend not to drop my instruments, but I bang them on every single obstacle in my wake. I was walking off stage after a performance once with my cello, I banged it (hard) on the grade piano twice, the door frame, and bottom of the stairs and almost every single chair I passed. The audience was probably surprised my cello made it back to my seat in one piece.
