Re: 2 piece student bass clarinets and long cases

Although complete disassembly of a two piece bass after use may be the proper practice in view of avoiding cork compression, I think that a lot of people prefer to leave the instrument assembled in the stand... so they can just grab it and play.
Some on this forum have gone for the long case option to avoid the two piece assembly/ disassembly step. Proper joint assembly involves placing the palm around the throat keys to separate the bridge linkages,something which should avoid any chance of damage here, but it's a step that some people still feel uneasy about, or just see as an additional hassle.

I think that the question of leaving a bass assembled or disassembled is just a personal matter. Both practices have their advantages and disadvantages after all.
