I once gave a lesson to a 9th grader who never used a swab and dropped the joints into her case wet. I tried her clarinet, which wouldn't play at all. I looked in the mouthpiece and down the bore and saw thick deposits of crud. When I scrubbed them out, the instrument played fine.

At least she didn't play bassoon. http://test.woodwind.org/Databases/lookup.php/Klarinet/1999/11/000892.txt
