Greenline ?

Okay! I think I already know the answer but I just wanted to put this out.
Do we ever need to do anything to the bore on a Greenline instrument?

As applies to ALL woodwinds, wood, plastic, or metal bodied (as well as Greenline) - NEVER use the same pullthrough to dry sockets with and then use it for the bore as it'll get cork grease and crud building up in the toneholes.

Dry your sockets with a sepearte piece of kitchen towel and use the pullthrough for the bore ONLY.

My understanding is that the construction is powdered African blackwood and resin. Therefore the result is a body that is, as advertised, hygromatically resistant. I swab them out (as you would a metal flute as well) but there should be no effects from moisture.....no bore oiling.
