Subj: [kl] Uh oh... stuck barrel on my clarinet
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2003 19:44:57 -0500

Yeah I know stupid. Well here's what happened.

I have been listening to Benny Goodman and Eddie Daniels for the last
few days and couldn't wait until Thanksgiving to get my repaired
clarinet back. I found my old plastic clarinet that I used in high
school. I had a barrel and mouthpiece in my sock drawer and scrounged
up a #3 Rico Royal. It played. I could play!! after 7+ years of little
to no playing.

So I go to take it apart and put it away. But the barrel is stuck. I
look at the clarinet and remember that the upper cork had been re-corked
a while ago. I didn't have any cork grease, but the barrel went on
just fine. heh now it won't come off. It feels like it's been soldered on.

Now how do I get it off? heh. Yeah I could have just asked the question,
but how would you all have been able to make fun of me? hehe

Thanks for any suggestions.
