I have the same problem but perhaps not to your extent. If I don't swab every 10 minutes when I practice, between most movements with performing and when ever I get time in the orchestra I have a problem with "water" in some holes. I think it is mostly saliva, something that some disagree but I know most of it is saliva. My dentist told me that's the reason I get so much calcium deposits on my lower teeth, to much saliva flow. Besides, there's a difference in density between saliva and condensation. Try not drinking to much before you play, swallow as often as possible and swab, swab, swab. I even have the problem playing bass clarinet and have to swab out often on that too. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
