 A few problems with the wood on my new clarinet.
Author: Asain

I'm not entirely if sure if the problem is the wood or not, but here goes.

I've recent noticed that I cannot fully join the top and bottom joints of my clarinet. For example, there is a slight gap in the middle where the two joints meet, kind of like when you pull out the middle when tuning. I cannot get rid of this no matter how much cork grease I use. Has the wood swollen so much that it doesn't fit anymore? The same has happened with one of my barrels. It doesn't even fit anymore.

Is there any way that I can fix this problem?

Thanks


FYI, All Region tryouts are tomorrow. It's suppose to be VERY cold. How will this affect the wood?
