To clean a clarinet, follow these steps:
1. Remove the reed from the mouthpiece and set it aside.
2. Dampen the cleaning swab with a small amount of water and insert it into the top of the clarinet. Gently work the swab through the instrument, taking care not to put too much pressure on the mechanism.
3. Repeat step 2 with dry swabs until the barrel, upper joint, and bell are clean.
4. Use the clarinet brush to gently remove any debris from the keys and ligature.
5. Reattach the reed to the mouthpiece and play the clarinet for a few minutes to ensure that it is still in tune.
Remember to clean your clarinet regularly, ideally after each use. This will help to keep the instrument in good condition and prolong its life.
