 Re: swabbing the clarinet out several times during a practice session

Well no, you are not pouring water into your horn. It is a function of hot air from a 100 degree Fahrenheit body going into a space that is cooler than that. Perhaps it is a function of just pumping MORE air into the space.......folks with open mouthpieces with the false perception that carrying power is a function of actual volume of air (NOT the case).



As we've discussed at an earlier time, you don't even need air in the horn to produce sound (some of us actually tried the experiment that was originally presented by a physicist/trumpet maker from England). The reed or buzzing one does into a brass mouthpiece only serves as an actuator to make the air column within the instrument vibrate).


Think about it. If any measurably significant amount of moisture was pouring into the clarinet, the reed would not even be able to vibrate (the space between the reed and mouthpiece would be filled with moisture instead of air).
