Bb Clarinet + Swab = A Clarinet?

I've been jobless lately and had nothing to do. Anyway this is what I did
1) Assemble the Bb clarinet without the barrel
2) Place the weight of the swab (preferably Buffet Swab) into the clarinet going in from the bell till the weight is exposed at the upper joint. The swab should be dangling outside the bell.
3) Assemble the barrel in such a way that the the cloth of the weight is held on by the barrel and the upper joint.

The resulting 'A' Clarinet is a bit stuffy but is quite in tune.

Have fun!
