Subj: [kl] product or trick to keep water out of keyholes
Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2003 14:37:11 -0500

Hi All. I am auditioning the Nielsen Concerto next year and have to
audition it in full. Im finding that by the 3rd "movement" my c# and
some of the side keys are clogged with spit/condensation/whatever. I
don't see any feasible time in the middle to swab and even blowing or
using cigarette paper to soak the water out doesnt help for long. Not
to mention how weird it may look in a performance. Any product I
could get or technique I could use to prevent this from happening for
about 23 minutes?? Thanks.
