But, it is still a liquid. If over a 6 month period the oil only penetrated
1 mm or so, do you think it will be much different for water? No piece of
wood will be the same due to differing grain structure and porousness. I do
agree that water content can have an effect on the stability of a clarinet
(due to stories I have heard from Arizona), but over what time frame? Can
the effects of moisture content be as sudden as extreme thermal cycling?
