I would contact Loree directly and ask their opinion. They make the
instruments and they have the experience with the wood.

Subject: [DR-L] to oil or not to oil

> Hi Everyone,

> Just yesterday I received a new violet wood Loree and I was told by my
distributor that I need to oil the bore three times a week for the rest of
its "playing life" because of the dry weather here in Alaska. To me, it
sounds a bit excessive. When I was using my other oboe (made from
Grenadilla) I only oiled the bore once a month and it never cracked and
still plays good to this day. Is voilet wood really that much more
susceptible to cracking than Grenadilla?Is it possible to oil the bore too
much?
