How about sanitzing the mouthpiece after each child then give them the reed they play on as a souvenier since that is where most of the saliva goes. You can get germacide spray anywhere these days. Keep a cup of water there and throw a new reed in each time you take one out. You can get a NovaPak of Ricos for pretty cheap (I agree with the #1's). I say let 'em honk...just make sure the parents see you sanitzing the thing before they play and use a cheap mouthpiece.

I think this is a GREAT thing to envolve kids in! From time to time when my 4 year old niece is over, I'll let her blow on the moutpiece while I hold my finger down on the reed (to provide the pressure required). When a note comes out she just goes all to pieces. She talks about it for days afterward! She's determined to play the clarinet when she gets older.

Have fun!
