2nd what David said.

Examine the tenon sockets on your horn - if you see wet, gelatinous gunk in there, you're not cleaning your instrument out properly, and its probably full of bacteria and mold, and no telling what else

I leave mine assembled at times in the studio, but, after playing, I swab it, disassemble, dry out the tenon sockets, grease the corks, then reassemble it and put it back on a peg. So if I do leave it assembled overnight, its clean and dry. And in a corner of the studio where there will be no chance of a passerby tripping over it.

Really, its better to put it up after every practice session.
