Re: Keeping Assembled Clarinet Intonation Play Ready

Keep the mouthpiece and barrel warm or the entire top section warm by removing it from the rest of the clarinet and wrapping your hands around the joints (and especially the top end of the upper joint).

But with pit playing, it's easier said than done. If there's a lot of long dialogue going on between numbers, that's the only time to get your instruments prepped and keep them warm (and the reed wet unless you use synthetic reeds) in time for the next number.
