If it came from your grandpa, it has probably been around for awhile. Make sure the bore is adequately oiled. Put a piece of waxed paper under each pad that is normally closed to protect it. Apply a light coating of high quality bore oil to the bore and sockets (almond oil, Bore Doctor, etc.). Let it sit for 24 hours and repeat. Continue the repetition until there is a coating of oil remaining on the bore surface after 24 hours. Use a clean swab to remove the excess oil. Remove the waxed paper pieces. When you get in the arena, allow as much time as possible for it to reach ambient temperature (assuming you are indoors) before you open the case. If necessary, wrap your hands around the instrument to warm it after you take it out of the case. If it gets cold, do everything you can to gently warm it (inside jacket for example) before you start blowing warm air through it.
