Storage Care For Second Clarinets

Author: MRidgeP

My primary clarinet is a Buffet RC Prestige clarinet. I take care of it like nothing else. The question that I have concerns my second clarinet which is a Leblanc Concerto. I don't use the Concerto at all and I worry that it dries out so much.

The truth is that I don't know how to care for a clarinet that I don't use. Should I let it dry out and then slowly introduce it to moisture over a period of weeks before using it again? Or do I continually care for it by making sure that it has enough moisture in it at all times?

I live in Iowa and the seasons here are average all around. Is there a certain procedure that I should follow to keep my stored clarinet in an optiumum state? And what is that state?

Any info? How do you others care for your second clarinets?
