If you are getting condensation on the throat tones try slipping a piece of cigarette paper between teh key and the tone hole...I have had good luck with this and it beats the heck out of louding blowing into the instrument. I assume you have a bass clarinet that doesn't come apart in the middle. Get a long enough swab and NEVER fail to swab out your instrument no matter how much of a hurry you are in. As far as not hitting high notes there are a lot of questions I would need to know before answering. I assume you are a young player and perhaps aren't playing on a professional bass. More info please and I will try to answer.
