Re: Oiling your keys: a cautionary tale

Well, I used motor oil for years, but Curt from the Music Medic convinced me to try their synthetic oil for my flute. It seemed to respond faster so I tried it on some saxophones and they seemed to play faster. The instruments with long tubes and rods can benefit the most from the synthetics. The clarinet probably plays about the same regardless of the oil type because there are few long rods moving in oil.
