I was told to oil my clarinet once every six months. I got a little
carried away with having a new clarinet and I made the pads a little brown
and nasty. I recently sent it to Bill Brannen and all the pads have been
replaced. I now wrap my upper and lower joints in plastic subway sub bags
to keep it from cracking in the dry winter. Does anyone else use this
method? The bags help keep moisture. I got this idea from my teacher. I
think it is a great alternative to oiling your clarinet so much.
