Subj: [kl] Stuck tenons

What has probably happened is that leaving your clarinet assembled without
proper swabbing has allowed moisture to get into the tenons and they have
swelled. Don't try to twist them apart, you will probably bend some keys.
This may sound odd, but put the clarinet in your refrigerator for about half
an hour and then try pulling it apart. This trick usually works. Just don't
play it until it has a chance to warm back up to room temperature.
