 Re: The Right Way to Clean an Old Clarinet

I think I'd start with a soft brushing, inside and out, to preserve the old history, clean the tenons/sockets with a soft rag, and assess what more needs be done. At this stage, I'd oil all the key pivot points, set aside for an hour or two, then start removing the keys, inspecting pads and springs. When stripped, you can consider oiling the bore and outer surface with almond [or Doctor's ] wood treatment oil. Inspect and evaluate! My method !
Nuff for now? Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
