I think the amount of humidity in the breath may be a bit related to age.

i've been reading about this recently, and I could be misunderstanding, but I think that as people get older their ability to produce saliva decreases. So it might be that the breath of a younger players might be very humid and that that would decrease dramatically once they hit 50 or thereabouts.

I'm not sure what the solution is a player whose breath is too humid for the clarinet to function. I wonder if the player is playing in quite a humid environment, where the air is already saturated with water, so unable to easily take more?

Jacob R - would it be okay to ask how old you are, and what your geographical location and weather conditions are, and whether you are playing with open windows or aircon?
