Re: Bore Oiling Interval

Buffet's standard recommendation was (I don't know if they've changed their minds in recent years) that oiling was not recommended. Hans Moennig did not recommend oiling unless there was a particular reason - like an old instrument badly desiccated from long disuse and poor storage.

So the informed range of opinion starts with no oil on a routine basis "whether it needs it or not." And then the opinions go from there. I don't think it depends so much on people's understanding of the subject but more on people's individual experiences, since you can't do a controlled experiment to test the same piece of wood with and without oiling over time.

But read the responses that will come - this tends to be a flash-point for very opinionated discussion going back through the BB's history. In the end, you're going to have to read everything and make your choice.

FWIW, I've never oiled my clarinets and the only two I've ever had crack were both too new when the cracks occurred to have been candidates even for a first oiling.
