 Re: Cor anglais/English horn problems

Just a note on bore oil: I used to swear by it, but investigation on the science of wood now makes me swear AT it.

Someone reported that Paul Covey soaked a piece of grenadilla for a whole month in oil. Upon cutting it open, NO absorption had happened. Laubin recommends applying furniture wax (Pledge) with a feather to prevent the accumulation of condensation and my brother, the forestry engineer, concurs with that.

Considering the trouble oil causes to pads, this might be something to consider.

Good luck on your disappearing notes, though. Do you wrap cellophane around your crook?
