How do you solve water problem?

Author: AS

We cannot prevent the problem of water in wind instruments, that is clear. I am just wondering about methods used when you must rectify the situation immediately. Swabbing, of course is the word here. But you cannot just take 15-20 seconds break in the middle of a musical phrase, take off mouthpiece, grab swab, pull it through, mount the mouthiece back, correct the reed position...... Any fast tricks available here?

Another issue - for me not only the register hole creates problems with water. Also saliva on the back of the reed after playing for a while builds up sufficiently to begin distorting the sound. I wonder if this is this just my problem or this is just as inevitable as water in the register hole? Solutions?
