I just had my clarinet oiled for the first time since buying it a year ago. I opened up the case to play it today and was greeted with what smells like rancid oil. It's a smell that nauseates me and I can't imagine playing it for any length of time at all. What oil SHOULD have been used to oil it? Also, I assumed the keys would be removed and the entire clarinet submerged in an oil bath then reassembled after the oil had been removed. Is that what is normally done when you ask to have it oiled? What SHOULD be done once a year as far as oiling goes? I DO use a turkey feather and refrigerated almond oil to oil the inside once a month as recommended by Kessler Bros. Any recommendations on what to do to get rid of the awful smell?
