 Clarinet and mouthpiece overnight storage
Author: John Kelly - Australia

I just wanted to field some opinions regarding storage of the instrument overnight.

My m.o. is to leave the clarinet on the stand overnight [bell and bottom joint only] with the rest separated and lying on a piece of paper to dry out. I don't take the reed off every day unless it needs to go into the "Reedgard" to regain its tension and shape.

Before playing or practicing the next day though, I run the m/p and reed under the hot tap to kill the bugs [seems to work] and rub with a paper towel to dry out.

If I forget this routine I end up with a blister on the chops - but I was wondering if anyone had a better idea. I guess I don't like to completely dismantle the clarinet and return it to the case each day and really, I don't think it's necessary.
