NO! Never soak your Clarinet in water, and try your best to keep it out of humid climates. Humidity and water will ruin the pads covering your clarinet's holes and loosen the cork around the joints, leaving it unable to produce any noise and impossible to put together. The only part of a clarinet that can withstand moisture is the mouthpiece, and this is only if it is plastic (as most clarinet mouthpieces are plastic). Do however swab out the insides of your clarinet on a regular basis and clean the holes with a Q-tip and wipe down the clarinet body with a soft rag or towel.

what you wanna do is get your bathtub really full with soap and bubbles

then you wanna stick all the pieces of the clarinet in there for about an hour to let it soak

then, if the keys are tarnished you have obviously done it correctly

a little cork grease and there you go!

i do this all the time and it works perfectly so there.

Yes. My band director told me to soak the reeds for 1 minute, test, and if still to hard to play, soak for another minute. Keep doing this up to 10 times and if it is still to hard, your reed is messed up.

You usually place a cloth (preferably with a string) through the whole of the clarinet (through the hollow) and the repeat with single part. You also have to sterolise the mouthpiece which means boiling water and placing just the mouthpiece in (without reed)
