Re: Barrel Stuck to Top Joint

Here's a question to consider: "How difficult is it for you to initially put your barrel on?"

If, in your opinion, it's rather difficult, then the chances of it getting "stuck", IMO, will increase in direct proportion to the difficulty of getting the barrel on.

Let's analyze this for a moment. After assembly, a player is blowing rather hot air (around 100 degrees) along with nearly 100% humidity down the barrel and upper tenon joint. The obvious will occur, i.e., both will expand. No doubt about it.

When a person stops playing for the day, the temperature immediately drops from around 100 degrees to whatever the ambient temperature is. Also, the humidity level will drop immediately from nearly 100% to whatever the ambient humidity is.

Immediate dis-assembly may indeed result in a "stuck" barrel. From my point of view, the barrel and tenon didn't immediately expand. It took a period of time.

Doesn't it make sense that a "period" of time may be necessary to separate the barrel from the upper section if the initial assembly was "difficult" at the start? (I realize "difficult" is a relative and subjective experience.)

I suggest we simply recall maxopf's and clarnibass's "stuck barrel" experiences listed above as well as BartHx's and Dr. Segal's advice.
