Nothing in this world improves with age, it just gets older. Strings improve from being played, not from aging. Stuck in museums, for instance, they will and do deteriorate.

I know some makers have been releasing [new] wind instruments for years which the dealer has to adjust before displaying for sale. I've never, however, heard of one having to be overhauled. My definition of an overhaul being, a complete rebuild to as near new condition as possible.

As for corks not needing replacement on new horns - dream on. It's cheaper for the dealer to replace corks (bad glue) than it is to send it back to the factory. And the "factory" knows this. And the buyer pays for it :\
