Re: Steps to revive an old wooden clarinet

Personally I hate Brasso, I find it far too abrasive.

What I would do is oil the bore with olive oil. Keep oiling until the oil is no longer absorbed into the wood, then swab out excess oil and let the clarinet dry. Be sure to avoid getting oil on the pads. Unless you plan on replacing the pads I would avoid polishing the keys, or at least only polish the areas of the keys other than the pad caps. Once you reassemble the clarinet be sure to give the keys all a bit of oil.

Good luck getting your new clarinet up and running!
