Oiling new?

Author: Ilkka

Should I oil the bore of my new wooden clarinet? Should i use bore oil (from musicstore) of is there an alternative?

As the corks are very tight, I grease them every time I put together. Could I use clean vaceline (from drugstore) for it is softer and easier to use?

I have searched this board as well other sources I could imagine, but couldnt find exact answer. Yamaha manual says oil occasionally, but tells not if to oil as new. What says Buffet book or some else? I'd appreciate short comment.

Have a good reed, wishes Ilkka.
