Re: moisture between barrel and top joint

It's normal for water to collect in the sockets on all instruments (and in toneholes) - it's all part of the territory and the joy of playing woodwind instruments and you'll just have to live with it and deal with it as you see fit.

Only I strongly advise you use a piece of kitchen towel to dry the sockets instead of using your pullthough as that'll only get covered in grease which in turn will build up in the toneholes making your top joint notes stuffy over time.

So keep a sheet of kitchen towel folded and rolled up and use that for drying the sockets and your pullthrough to dry the bore - then replace it when it looks skanky (and also wash your pullthrough on a regular basis too). Use your pullthrough forst from bell to barrel, then take the joints apart and dry the sockets.
