Re: Bore Oiling Interval

BGBG - In 60+ years and thousands of instruments handled I can categorically state that I have never seen bore oiling cause harm.

Yes some stupid people have flooded the instrument with too much oil and ended up with a sticky mess on the pads and everywhere etc, but that a user problem not an oiling problem.

What I have seen regularly, as stated in my earlier post, is damage caused by a failure to oil when it was needed.

if you want a vehicle analogy then talk to a vehicle fleet manager in any company.
You will soon find that whilst there are minimum levels of scheduled maintenance that overall they track the usage of the vehicles to decide exactly what is needed.
Does the vehicle do 5,000 miles a year or 50,000 miles
clearly the maintenance needs will differ.

Same with clarinets, is it played 5 hours a day or 5 hours a month ?
Kept in a hot moist climate, a cold dry one etc etc.

Sometimes that very rare commodity - common sense - is also involved.
