I just bought a new wooden clarinet. I put cork grease on the joints before I put it together but now the bell is stuck on and I can`t get it off. I`m afraid to pull on it because I don`t want to bend any keys. What should I do?

Take it to a repair shop. They can un-stick it and then shave it down a little so that it doesn`t get stuck again.

I agree with M.A. DO NOT TRY TO GET IT OFF YOURSELF! I snapped my plastic clarinet in half doing that! And it cost me $200 to repair and a wooden clarinet would be about $800+ to repair.

TAKE IT TO THE SHOP!

Repair shop. But how could you put it together in the first place without using more force then what ought to be necessary?
