If you can, check out
http://sneezy.mika.com/clarinet/Equipment/Care/

which has a long section on Cleaning by Clark Fobes (a
frequent Klarinet contributor) which has instructions on
oiling and there is a very short section there by Frank
Cicetti. Also, if you go to the Archive database there
(http://sneezy.mika.com/clarinet/Databases) and do a
search on
bore and oil
in the Klarinet archives you'll get literally hundreds
of past articles from Klarinet back. It's a common and
controversial subject (just like reeds ;^).
