Jane asked:

<<Then one day about 2 weeks ago I left my clarinet in the car
overnight and all of a sudden my mouthpiece wouldn't fit securely in the
barrel. For the past couple of weeks I have been using a strip of paper
to fill the space. It was working wonderfully, but today I cant get
anything to blow without a lot of pressure.
HELP!!! I'm taking this improv class tomorrow where I have to stand
and play alone (ok, with the piano accomp) Can anyone think of
something?>>>

A quick fix for the mouthpiece cork is to wind dental floss around it until
it fits. Then go see a repair tech -- there are some good ones here in
Seattle. Steve Keene = Custom Music in Bellevue is good; so is Steve
McComas at Dan Oberloh's shop, if you want to go to Burien. See
