shmuelyosef,

Good observations and questions.

1) How do we define "blown out?" Would that be determined by the player or someone measuring dimensions (tech)? Can we even establish the initial dimensions with accuracy for given manufacturers and models?

2) Given that your measurements seem to suggest restoration of the bore dimensions of a clarinet with oiling, does that indicate it wasn't "well cared for" and therefore may have been "blown out?"

3) I again mention Larry Naylor's work as he suggested restoration of bore dimensions using an "oil immersion" technique he'd developed, incidentally I believe using Doctor Henderson's products, and recovering "blown out" clarinets such that they played as when new. At least according to several testimonials he published.

4) Has anyone established that routine bore oiling is preventative? Or would it require an immersion such as Naylor was doing? Can you get part way to original with bore oiling or all the way there?

5) What is the rate of deterioration of a clarinet's tone and is it related to the bore changing dimensions? Does bore oiling slow that process?

Etc....

There are plenty of variables and unknowns inherent within this discussion and I've listed only a few that I don't know the answers to. I'm certain others have questions as well and I'm skeptical that the time or money will be spent on the studying required to find the answers. Therefore, my conclusion is inconclusive. Personally, though intriguing I wasn't moved enough by Mr. Lowenstern's experiment or methods to discontinue oiling. Philosophically, I'm more inclined to oil the bore as a preventative measure especially having read Naylor's work, read Dr. Henderson's posts on the subject and having heard your experience.
