Re: Michael Lowenstern's bore oil experiment

Several points here:

1. Buffet recommends don't oil their clarinets. I assume that Buffet doesn't want to see people complaining the cracking of their clarinets. So if there is no harm, why Buffet recommends not?

http://www.buffet-crampon.com/en/care-maintenance/
"Under no circumstances use oil, solvents or anticorrosive products."
"No bore oil, etc. needs to be used to prevent cracks in a new instrument. Observing the precautions in 1. and 2. is sufficient."

2. Yamaha has a bore oil, but on the bottle, it says the function is to protect inside of the bore from water. (I always think this is the major reason for oiling the bore).

On the yamaha manual:
"Application of bore oil protects the wood from moisture penetration thus helping prevent deformation and cracking. Apply a few drops of bore oil to a swab and draw it through the body several times."

3. Kronthaler says their clarinets even need a oil bath after first three months of use.

4. I think it is important to ask our oboe friends. As far as I know, almost every oboe cracks. To me, this seems to be an evidence that oiling has minor effect because I also assume they tried oiling. Of course, I could be very wrong.

So, I am still very neutral.
