Get Yourself and Your Pipes Ready for Playing Outside in Cold Weather

The Short Version

Cold air increases moisture condensation inside your pipes. As your warm breath cools inside the pipe, moisture condenses on reeds and in the bag. Prepare with a tube water trap or canister moisture control system.
Know the limits of your instrument and moisture control in cold conditions. Play only long enough to warm up your hands and pipes, then stop to avoid excessive moisture buildup. After each session, brush and swab your pipes completely.
