 Playing in the Cold
Author: DavidBlumberg

There was a closed thread about playing in the cold that I just saw and want to add my comment on why playing in the Cold can also be an issue for the Clarinet:

If a cork is shrunken from the cold, the Instrument won't seal properly and you will squeak a lot. Could be from the Barrel to the body, or Mouthpiece to the Barrel/both.......


Using teflon tape to bridge any gap would eliminate that particular issue. It can also happen when the Clarinet warms up from being cold. I've heard of Clarinets not working all of a sudden when the Clarinet warms up. That would be from expansion of the wood, and the leak starting from that with a cork that is not supple or large enough to seal properly.
