Re: Approach to muting the Clarinet

Ok, I'm not much of a fan of enclosures. It makes more sense to me to play softly (I have even gone to a whisper mode sort of thing that I use at four in the morning in the apartment). When playing with a bit more amplitude a good technique is to have your television on as well with the volume up a little bit. Neighbors are much more inclined to "understand" noisy entertainment than clarinet playing (and usually after ten in the morning and no later than nine at night).

As for the condensation. The real culprit is your internal body temperature and the corresponding temperature of your breath in relation to the ambient temperature in you space (the colder, the more condensation) as well as the relative humidity. Your hands aren't going to create much of a heat source within the box.

Good luck either way.
