 Re: How to practise very frequently without damaging clarinet

There are at least two problems with leaving your instrument assembled. One is the permanent compression of the tenon corks. The other (with a wooden horn) is the accumulation of moisture in the sockets — if you don't disassemble the instrument and dry them out.

If taking your clarinet apart and putting it back together really takes too much time, why not buy a used resonite clarinet, or even a metal one, and use a synthetic reed? You could play a chromatic scale any time you wanted and use your good instrument when you had more time to practice. I'd suggest putting a pillow case or slipcover of some kind over the instrument to cut down on the accumulation of dust around the pivot points.
