Subj: [kl] Excessive moisture
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 15:01:13 -0500

I have found that recently I am getting a lot of moisture in my clarinets,
particularly the A. Things got a bit tricky this week in Tchaikowsky 5 when
both (!) e-flat keys were waterlogged at the beginning of the first movement
(luckily, in rehearsal). I have heard of oboists who trickle a bit of water
down their instruments before they play and guide the stream past the holes,
but this is not practical on my A (buffet prestige). Does anyone have a
method of avoiding this problem that they could share with me?

Thanks
