 Re: moisture between barrel and top joint

As for water lodged in toneholes and wet pads, blot them with absorbent paper and something that won't tear nor stick to the pads or toneholes. Shake and blow out the majority of the water and then blot the pads by closing them against the paper and don't drag the paper from under pads closed as that can tear the paper or scuff the pad. Only remove the paper once the pad is off the tonehole again and no damage will be done.

You can't expect any kind of paper to wick moisture from toneholes unless the paper is pushed into them, so dislodge as much water by shaking the joint and blowing the water out - close off the tenon with your right hand and close the toneholes with your left hand fingers in the normal manner, then blow into the top joint and open each key in turn to blow the water out. Then blot and dry the water from the pads, toneholes and surrounding areas that are wet.
