Re: Oiling

I don't want to be impertinent (no, really), but if dry air can cause a wooden clarinet to crack, one would have to ask why that is. And if moisture in the AIR is important, then...............

You see where I'm going with this.

But I do agree that if you are not playing the instrument (and having the associated condensation pour down the thing all the time) you don't need to worry about oil maintenance.

As for Hans Moennig, you only have to look at "Silversorcerer's" images of re-introducing oil to the wood over time, to appreciate the difference oil makes for wood. I don't know why Moennig would have taken an anti oiling stance, but one thing you CAN say about that storied block of wood: not a drop of condensation was going to get into it either. And for me that is the important part.
