When playing on a plastic instrument, where cracking is not a concern, is there any advantage to warming the instrument prior to blowing into it? I'm thinking of whether the pads may be affected by temperature changes.

Yes, I would warm up as described--this method helps prevent water in the tone holes (still possible with plastic), likely benefit pads, and help with pitch consistency. (I did not mention plastic as I thought these other benefits still apply. Thanks for asking!)

Excellent advice. If you stay in shape, no need to warm up!!!
Excellent playing, books, and video! Much talent here.
