 To oil or not to oil...
Author: Peter 
Date:   2001-09-22 14:46

In "Routine Check-up," part of what I wrote was:

"Within this year, a couple of repair people told me that in overhauling a wooden instrument it is no longer "acceptable practice" to oil it.

When I argued the point with one of them he told me that the "new general consensus" was that the wood is so hard that it doesn't really soak in the oil within the time allotted for it to do so, anyway.

I still don't agree with that and insist my wooden instruments be oiled."

Without mentioning any names, I'll say that the two people who said this to me are considered excellent technicians, so much so, that it surprised me to hear it from them.

Since I'm no expert, I'd like to hear some other opinions on the subject.
