Re: moisture between barrel and top joint

I highly recommend swabbing regularly during play. Also, if you put your clarinet down for a few hours between sessions, you should immediately take it apart after each time you play. Moisture will build up particularly between the upper joints (and even between the bottom joint and barrel), but it should have no deleterious affects on the sound whatsoever (timbre, pitch etc). But once you reach the end of a playing session, taking it apart is paramount for the longevity of the corks (preventing "wobble" between parts).
