Henrik,

New instruments, in most cases, should NOT have the bore oiled. You may, indeed, void any type of warranty. Read the warranty specifications and adhere to them in order to recoup any remedies if a problem develops.

Have your instrument tech look at it at least annually, more often if you live in an area that has extreme weather conditions. A wiping of the clarinet with a soft cloth should be enough. Individuals' hands have a different amount of carbonic and phalic acid. (I believe I have these acids identified correctly.) Luckily, I have a low amount of these and can keep keys shiney for a long time by simply wiping the keys off each time I put the clarinet back into the case.

Do a search on this topic. Much has advice has been given in the past and there are different ideas (opinions) for sure.
