I think that's ok, with a plastic or hard rubber instrument - but personally I would never do that with a wood instrument, particularly a new one with the wood still adjusting to use, as discussed by others above. The standard wisdom is always to always disassemble the instrument and put it back in the case. Perhaps Bob has some special reason in this situation for varying from that. I'd be curious to hear it.

The corks on my new Bb CSVR are still needing grease just about every time I assemble it, and it's been a few weeks of playing it every day. The corks on the A have adjusted a bit more quickly. If that's still the situation with the Bb in another couple weeks I might sand the corks very slightly to fit better, but I won't try to compress them by leaving things set up. Too much risk of the wood binding.
