Caroline : I guess the point is I do not really know how to assess or define the need to oil. When I read about all the maintenance I may not be doing I get concerned. My clarinet gets played maybe half hour a day and is in its case when not being played, and never leaves the house.I do not want to over-maintain it. But do not want to neglect it either. If I were to oil it I would use a silk swab I got for just that purpose alone but I never decided just how often to do it. I and when I begin I would guess that once a year would be suitable. When it came to reeds I tried everything I read and now am back to about the same thing I was doing when only a beginner. All the exacting procedures did not really improve much and some actually caused trouble. And whatever I say I did, many would agree, and many more would disagree. Seems to be no one way for all.
After reading all these responses I will probably oil bore maybe once a year if don't know what to watch for or cannot recognize it. Maybe manufacturers do not recommend it for they know many may do it too much and too often. Just my opinion. But it is nice to see all the ideas and thoughts on the subject.
