Hi
I have an old book ( guess 1940s) TREATISE ON THE CLARINET where the C# water problem is discussed. the advice is " before playing take a piece of moistened broom-straw, draw it down the inside of the upper joint. it should pass near C# hole but carefully avoid it. water should follow the line made by the straw."
I have never tried it, and can only guess what precisely a broom straw is. I presume he was trying to say: not a drinking straw.
May help ?

2/ I think I remember when I first bought my R13 there were user instructions in the case (!!) which included swabbing it every 15 minutes if I recall correctly. I have a long swab with a tail both ends, but only one is weighted, which allows this once the mp is off. the only prob I have encountered is when I use Optimum lig it often comes off of the mp during this operation.
