 Re: Barrel Stuck to Top Joint

Let the entire instrument dry out as much as possible in a slightly cool, dry room for a few hours or days, if possible. Whilst inside the slightly cool room, and after the drying period, grab the barrel, wrapping your warm hand around it all the way, letting the barrel warm up and expand for a few minutes. Next, gently rock, twist and pull, praying that it comes off. Be careful! The cork is not what is stuck, it's the wood that is swollen and binding together.

Bring the clarinet into normal room temperature (72 degrees) and let it warm up before playing.

When my Yamaha clarinets got acclimated to Arkansas weather, I had to have the tenons turned down slightly, due to binding.

Hard rubber and plastic instruments don't have this problem, I think ...

If this doesn't work, consult a good repair tech.
