Re: Wood Clarinet Question

I also leave my wooden (Yamaha) clarinet assembled frequently. I've had it for about 25 years and although it's got a fine crack in it (which has always been there as far as I can remember), the crack never gets worse and the tenon cork is fine. I don't have it assembled all the time - but like you I'm a parent and can only find time here and there throughout the day to pick up and play, and having the instrument assembled already and on view is a good motivator too! (When I was a kid I left it assembled due to laziness....)

I would try to find a nice compromise. Put it away at the end of the day (most days), but leave it assembled throughout the day. That works for me.
