The gurgling happens on the reed/mouthpiece (so no tonehole oiling and other engineering required). Tiny bubbles of saliva sit on the reed and cause a buzzing gargling annoying sidetone. I suck at the mpc to free it to restore the normal sound - no problem. But then I swallow /before/ it can happen again, eventually gulping more air than spit.
Maybe the question should read: how to prevent too much saliva?
