Re: Bore Oiling Interval

I think one point missed so far is that oiling is not, or not only, about crack prevention.
I have serviced at least a thousand clarinets in the last 25 years and owned and played my own for 60+
Many of the instruments coming to me showed quite significant bore distortion, primarily at the top of the upper joint, and almost invariably accompanied by dry, parched wood.

Oiling the top of the instrument, where the hot moist breath first impinges, is in my experience a very sure way to minimise this.
None of my personal instruments show such distortion despite all being between 30 and 50+ years old.
My 1960 Leblanc LLs still measure to within better than 0.05 mm of new at the top.

Of course, as many above state, you make your own choices.
