Re: Do you swab your mouthpiece? DISCUSSION

This is a question not a statement.
I have a Buffet pull-through which goes easily through the (Yamaha) clarinet including the (CL5) mouthpiece and I do this at the end of every time I play while the instrument is still together.
As I practice for short periods a few times every day (I run out of puff easily) I do leave the horn assembled on its stand with only the reed removed. Once a week I take it to bits and give all the sections a clean and store it in its Yamaha case in pieces.
When I pull through I do this gently and make sure that the rope bit is not pulled across the edges of the mouthpiece. I wash the pull-through every couple of weeks.
Reading the comments above I am thinking that I should pull through with the mouthpiece removed.
Bearing in mind that I paid a lot of money for the horn and also the mouthpiece would anyone care to comment on what I am doing?
