Forgive this "ugly' question, but can a competent clarinetist
control his or her 'oral moisture' (<euphemism alert!>) during a
performance sufficiently that nothing drips out the bell in between
opportunities to swab?
Several of you have posted: "Swab from bell to mouthpiece because
this doesn't drag moisture into new areas of the instrument", and I
wonder if it's possible to keep moisture from travelling the length of
the instrument during a peformance, regardless of how you choose to
swab?

Cheers,
Bill
