Hey Lee - mine too?!?! Is there some sort of attachment for the clarinet
that would take care of this chore, and make it palatable? It's just
rained here for 2 days, so the grass is wet and high.

Our English Horn player does a passable "vacuum cleaner" by playing low
Bb, holding the bell close to the floor of the stage while moving it back
and forth over the area to be "cleaned", and making great
crescendi/decrescendi - great for mangled passagework in rehearsal!
