Re: Restoring old calrinet

Hey, guys and gals, sorry if I seemed dumb when I asked what cleaning solution David used with the bottle brush to clean wooden clarinet bore, but I truly don't have a clue. My wooden clarinet is an old Artley 8S, so we are talking about maybe a $25 or $30 loss if I ruin it, but still I don't want to do the wrong thing . . . I sorta like the old toy.

I'm trying to relearn clarinet from scratch after about a 45 year hiatus and don't remember any more about proper care of the instrument than I do about playing it. With your help I can avoid mistakes now, then later on when I learn to play this thing, I will get a real clarinet and will know the best way to care for it.

So, I am more or less in the same inquiring position as clarinet@55 with regard to cleaning of an older wooden instrument -- or an instrument of any age for that matter.
