Hi,
Drying time is affected by 5 things, humidity, air movement /exchange, temperature, surface area, and of course the amount of moisture that needs to evaporate. Through swabbing, clarinet players control 2 of these, the amount of moisture left behind after swabbing, and the surface area that is damp or wet, which varies player to player. I feel through experience, that removing more moisture speeds drying more than removing less and spreading the rest. Why? Well, once you are done the clarinet goes into a low volume case. The remaining moisture from the clarinet and what is in the swab will raise the humidity inside the case (which is closed by now) slowing down the drying process. Therefore, I feel it is best to begin with less moisture. That being said, it is best to swab from the dryer end (bell) to the wetter end (the barrel, for most players).

Best Regards to All
Mark
