 Re: Removing a barrel

I'm surprised nobody has said the obvious. Warm the barrel to make it expand slightly and cool the upper joint to make it contract.
How to do it is probably worthy of a whole post! Sticking the barrel into your barbecue may be a bit extreme, but you could try warming a few rags in the microwave, cooling some in the freezer, then wrapping them around the appropriate parts for a few minutes, followed by a sharp twist.

Worked for me! I'd borrowed a very old and unused clarinet from a friend and put it together without greasing the cork. You can guess the rest!
