Re: asking for trouble?

I'm an amateur, but fwiw -- since you're swabbing, I wouldn't worry about bad things happening if you wait to take the clarinet apart until after your last practice session of the day. Leaving it assembled day after day -- yeah, that could cause trouble. But I think it's probably easier on the corks and tenons if you're not taking the clarinet apart and putting it together over and over during one day.

Unless you have cats, of course. The late Shadow Cat, r.i.p., would have loved to get her paws on a loose clarinet. Jane Feline wouldn't deliberately go after a clarinet in order to maim it, probably, but she's so fascinated with everything mechanical, especially if it makes noise (as a kitten, she liked to ride the vacuum cleaner) that she might damage an instrument by accident.
