Just to clarify -- I've never broken a barrel and I've never bought a clarinet with a broken barrel. I described used clarinets I decided not to buy in part *because* they had barrel cracks -- and that's one of those factors in how much the value of a used clarinet can depreciate, as we're discussing on another thread.

I've had a few stuck barrels over the years, of course. My grammar school band teacher taught my class the method others have described here: let the clarinet take a nap. If it's still stuck, twist and pull while rocking the joint very gently. I follow up by sanding down the cork a bit so it won't stick again.

"Leila" is my imaginary evil twin, btw. She plays the kazoo.
