Re: How do you solve water problem?

I have enormous problems with my basset horn. My technician painted a line of paraffin inside the bore to divert the water, but it helps only up to a point. I find the best answer to the problem is to play for 10 minutes and then swab. If necessary, I also give the register key a short blast of compressed air. BG make a container specially for clarinets, but I'm not sure it is any different to the product you can buy for half the price in a photo shop. It also helps to store the instrument with cigarette papers under the worse offending holes so you are sure they are dry next time. Don't forget to strip the gum off the papers.
