Re: Bell Attached to Lower Joint [Nut]Cases

I have a Buffet double case in which there seems to be a little extra room in the space for the lower joint and bell assembly, so I put the bell onto the lower tenon very loosely when putting the clarinets into the case. I usually apply cork grease before playing and not after swabbing out the clarinets.

As more of a big band/pit player, I usually carry the Bb clarinet around in another case, and the A clarinet has spent some long stretches sitting in the case. I have not experienced any problems with the corks or with being unable to separate the bell from the lower joint.
