I ran into the same question of having a clarinet out and ready to play so that I could just pick it up and practice several times a day. I play mostly vintage Leblancs, so my solution was to pick up a cheap repadded plastic Vito V40, which stays assembled and ready to play for sometimes several days at a time. The V40 feels and plays pretty much like my vintage Leblancs for practice purposes, so the transition is easy. If you can afford it (there's a lot of inexpensive student equipment online), picking up a used plastic or hard rubber student model similar to your wood instrument could solve your problem. A spare mouthpiece (always handy to have on hand) would avoid worrys of wearing our your best mouthpiece. I don't know Yamahas so cannot recommend a model, but maybe someone else here could do so.
