 Re: New trick for keeping water out of tone-holes

I dont know about new tricks but I have an old book Treatise on the Clarinet by Rudolph Dunbar (1939 ) where he recommends preventing water flooding C#/ G# by "before playing take a moistened piece of broom-straw and draw it down the inside of the bore, passing near but avoiding the C# hole.
He says this will direct water away from the hole which sounds probable but I have yet to try.

I can only guess that a broom-straw would be like a farm yard straw, to distinguish it from a waxy drinking straw that they may have used in the 1930s
