Another thing which I have found to be very helpful in making the Eb
clarinet less of a problem is to remove the reed and soak it in a fine
white wine. Then, disassemble the instrument and put it in the case.
Fish the reed out of the wine and throw it away. Drink the wine while
contemplating your new year's resolution never to get the Eb out of the
case again.
