Kevin,

I very much doubt that adiabatic cooling is a perceptible effect at the
pressure differences involved in clarinet playing. But I am too idle to run
the calculation, so feel free to do so and convince me!

Of course, if it happens at all, it would be at the constriction formed by
the read/mouthpiece aperture, not within the mouth.

Keith
