tseligas , a friend of mine soaks the clarinet in oil ,he uses motor oil for the cars ,and the parts do come apart ,their is also a web site called doctors products it is for woodwind instuments you might find solvent there . i can tell you if you do soak it leave it for 3 days so the oil penetrats , now will penetrating oil work better (its thiner) what ever you do it has to soak . also do clarina are in demand it doesnt look that bad does it have abrand name on it on the clarinet itself not the bell .
