 Re: Old dry clarinet

I've always wondered, if it plays well dry, why oil it and potentially make slight changes to the bore and dimensions and therefore tuning? Why not just have the rings pressed in, or do the trick with putting a thin piece of paper or something?

I would like a tech to respond as to whether oiling the wood could potentially change the bore or affect playability and why not just let it be if it plays well as is.

Alexi <- don't know how oiling a bore would affect it, but I've got a great clarinet at home I haven't oiled for fear of having it lose its resonance, tuning, etc.
