Play your clarinet more ! Or add humidity to your case while the clar is
stored in it - wet sponge/orange peels etc. Place the case in a more humid
area of your house. (Suggestions found in a search on the topic in the
woodwind.org archive).

I had barrel rings come loose so after reading everyone's comments on
woodwind.org, I placed the barrel and a damp piece of sponge in a
ziplok bag. In about 24 hours, the rings snugged up fine.

Haven't heard much about Jack Brymer for some time now. I'd guess he was in
his eighties; good long life and a wonderful clarinetist. I like the
British sound, his especially.
