My bassoon is stuck together (the bell joint to the long joint/bass joint) and I can't get it unstuck... I've tried everything I can think off... do you lot have any other tricks up your sleeve?

I hope you have managed to get your bassoon apart by now - sorry I took a long time answering. If you have not, or for anyone else in this fix (which isn't abnormal at all) go to:
