 To Oil or Not to Oil, the “bore”ing question.
Author: FDF

Previous threads on this subject, as well as other works I’ve consulted, are inconclusive. Thus, I’d like your opinion.

After an absence of twenty-some years, I’ve returned to playing the clarinet. The first step was to get my Selmer CT (purchased in 1955) back in playing condition. The technician who repaired and played the horn was extremely enthusiastic about the instrument. At the time, I didn’t think to ask him his thoughts about oiling the bore.

When I purchased the clarinet, I was advised to oil on a particular schedule for a few times, then not to oil again. I’ve always been careful about swabbing after playing. The outside looks fine. But, I’ve wondered if it would be a good idea to oil the bore after all these years.

Your considered opinions will be appreciated, thanks.
