Disclaimer - I sell a plant derived oil for woodwinds and genuine Grenadilla oil.

You must know that we are a very antiquated and biased community. We believe what our teachers, mentors or idols use or have used for the last century. Many old wife’s tales hav a strong basis in fact but some pale in the face of newer scientific knowledge. Many still believe that oil, and possibly the old oil they used in the early 1900s, will not penetrate Grenadilla wood. Beside the laughable UTube experiment which started this thread there “IS” scientific evidence that a mixture of plant oils will penetrate Grenadilla wood. When I visited the Buffet plant probably 20 years ago they were impregnating their wood prior to manufacturing. If oil is good then, why not later? Other manufacturers may or may not use oil prior to manufacture.

I believe that a consensus of technicians and buyers will agree that the wood used in today’s instruments, with new kiln drying techniques, is more prone to cracking than the many years air dried wood of the past. So, it remains to be seen if todays instruments will survive, as many in the past have, for 20-30 years without additional oiling or humidification. I hope so.

We tend to take a gospel the lessons of our teachers who mimic the advice of their teachers and so on and on. Obviously much of the advice will advance our playing technique but we all should question certain recommendations that have since been changed by new scientific information.
