I sent a similar question to BooseyH@-----.com when I saw their
comments about the Scientific American article. I got a response
from Francois Kloc (Woodwind Product Specialist) that said, "I also
encourage you, if one day you purchase a new wood clarinet, to not
oil the bore either. We oil the wood when we make our instruments
and they are full of oil."
