This is where flute, bassoon and sax players (as well as plastic bodied woodwind instrument, brass, strings, percussion and keyboard players) have the upper hand as they can play their instruments right out the box for as long as they like.

The first few weeks are critical in that you don't overplay a brand new wooden instrument to get it used to the greater humidity level in the bore (bassoons have a bore liner in the descending bore so aren't affected too much), so stick to 30 mins maximum playing time and then dry it out well and put it back in its case. You can leave it for a few hours in between playing to let it rest and then play it again after that, but set your playing time this early on to 30 minutes each practice/playing session.
