I've been playing quite a lot recently and leaving my new BW M2 tenor on the stand for easy access (although I have been taking the mouthpiece and reed off and cleaning/storing them properly).
Yesterday I tried to take the neck off to use the pull-through on the body and swab out the neck. It just won't shift at all.
The fit of the tenon was fairly tight in the socket, but not ridiculously so. Now it seems to have seized up completely and I don't want to force it and bend or break something.
Does anyone have tips for how to safely shift it this time and for how to prevent it happening again ? Maybe some selective warming up might help the socket to expand.
Thanks
Rhys
