In my opinion (which is all you'll get for a topic like this), yes. I don't really know why, and it might not be measurably true, but my auxiliary clarinets, that I don't play often, seem to become easier to play over a few days' playing. Is it the clarinet or is it me getting more used to the instrument? Don't know.

I must say, I don't notice this so much with my saxes (obviously almost all metal), which I don't play for months at a time.
