My response was to Lennon's sophistry, not oil.
Don't know about Tri-flo. Sounds like a laxative; or an alpha adrenergic
blocker.
For the bassoon, over thirty years I have used what Verne Q. Powell
recommended for his flutes: silicone clock lubricant, which I obtained from
Dow. In time it does tend to go through some sort of chemical change. It
gets thicker and it smells like vinegar(35 years). I now use dental high
speed turbine handpiece lube, as it definitely doesn't polymerize, but I
would like it better if it were just a bit more viscous and sound dampening.
I may switch to the stuff we use on low speed turbine handpieces for more
viscosity. Both come in conveniently sized plastic bottles with a cannula in
the tip. Can't carry in the case as they would leak.
Let me know,
Herb
