Looking at posts about drying tenon sockets, swabbing mouthpieces, and waxing reeds, I'm curious to hear any stories about "incorrect" things that well-known players routinely have done that would curl the hair of those who are particularly particular.
For example, I was told by a pro friend that he saw Stoltzman open a box of reeds back stage, pick through them for one that he liked, and play the performance on it with no break-in, and so forth.
And I knew one prominent player back in the 60s who admitted that he hadn't washed his swab in five years.
And one who used a "one piece" case for his instrument, and never took it apart--ever.
And one who used oleo as cork grease.
