Re: Clarinet is always stuck

That usually happens in the warm humid season with a new clarinet. I've had to "sand" many clarinet joints for my students over the years. A very little at a time constantly trying the fit so not to over sand. I'd use a thin piece of light sand paper, having the student hold the joint and turning it to get an even sanding. It also depends if the swelling is on the front or the back part of the cork. In any care, it's easy to do but must be done carefully and slowly. Of course a decent tech will do it for you if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.
