While your clarinet may not bring the sound you want out anymore, it can still light your home. The shape of the clarinets makes them perfect when it comes to repurposing.

So, what use comes to your mind? Simple, you can use them as a lamp holder. Trust me; many will keep asking you where you got such an excellent lamp holder before they notice that you made that out of your damaged clarinet. What if the colour does not compliment that of the lamp or your home? You can easily paint it the way you like.

So, why not turn your drum to a storage box? Maybe you would love to keep your musical books inside and arrange them in a well-organized manner. You can even divide it into two sections for better arrangement by adding a board in the centre.
