Re: Leaving the clarinet assembled

I do find this discussion really useful, but I feel as though there should be a better answer that we haven't identified.

I think that for those of us who play in many short bursts at home during the day it would make the world of difference to be able to keep the instrument assembled.

However, for me, with the instruments I have, I don't think it would work.

With my new Yamaha clarinet, even if I just play for ten minutes, I get really a lot of water gathering in the junction between the joints, and I have to work pretty hard to get that puddle dried out when I put the clarinet away. I reckon if I left that as standing water for any length of time, I would quite quickly have bacterial and fungal growth in there.

Conversely, my old vintage clarinet doesn't get water in that gap between the joints, but when I kept it assembled for a week, it did form a hairline crack by the end of the week.

It's really odd, but reading through this thread, I find myself vehemently agreeing with all the posts, even though they disagree with each other.

I do wonder if there is a third option that we haven't thought about, along the lines of Julian's bass clarinet hairdryer.
