I would suggest using bore oil on a not-too-stiff "bottle" brush, likely several applications to wash out the crud, then follow up with almond or apricot oil to re-oil the bore. I would be cautious in using "severe" solvents such as nail polish remover [or other ketones, or aromatics such as benzene/toluene/xylenes].. Some repair shops offer a hot oil treatment, I had an old oboe well restored to near-new wood condition , somewhat lengthy and costly, well worthwhile in my case. We discussed this subject earlier, "Search the Phorum" for it. Don
