Re: Leaving the clarinet assembled

Stop saying it's fine when it's evidently not.

I know for a fact based on several decades of experience of seeing mistreated instruments that it's not fine to leave them assembled for lengthy periods when they're not being played.

There's no excuse in making excuses for not doing any basic maintenance - too many people seem to think they 'don't have the time' to do this, that or the other when it's all part of owning and playing a musical instrument. Make cleaning it out, taking it apart and putting it back in its case part of the whole experience as that is what it is. If you can't do that then give it up and go and do something else or nothing instead. You've committed to buying and playing clarinet so you should commit to every other aspect that comes and is intrinsically linked with it.

Skipping those simple yet important steps is not fine and anyone who says it's fine should be ashamed of themselves regardless of who you state you are as a player in your signature.
