May I add to Tom's recipe: Now launder the swab to remove residual sawdust, and
dry it hanging over the fireplace, which by now should be lit warmly and

your favourite clarinet recording. Use the keys to make New Age art.

All in jest - (from the recently published "Don't Try This At Home Clarinet
Techniques")
