Even though I’m somewhat hesitant to date myself, I remember reading through a stash of my first clarinet teacher’s issues of “The Clarinet” (the magazine from the 1950’s, not the current publication). Since the magazines weren’t mine, I took careful notes so I would have all that essential knowledge at my fingertips. One thing I particularly recall was a comment/fact/factoid that stated that one should never oil the bore of the clarinet because it will deaden the sound. Ergo, I have never done so since that reading in the mid-1960s.

symphony1010 is exactly correct when he states that if an instrument is going to crack, it’s gonna crack, no matter how careful one is with their horn (yet another one of my teachers mentioned that to me on more than one occasion). I have been exceedingly careful with all my instruments over these many years and, indeed, have had cracks. Big deal, so what - you get it pinned by someone who knows what they’re doing. My clarinets didn’t play any differently so why should anybody get their proverbial in a knot about getting a crack?

But don’t oil your bores…
