Re: Reducing Moisture from Playing

Most of it is condensation.

My observation over the decades is that the amount of water amount is correlated to the relative humidity and temperature, you can't do anything about how much water you condense inside the instrument.

I do run an old swab with bore oil on it through the instruments more frequently in the months where the humidity is higher, which seems to help keep it out of the tone holes. In the summer, around here anyway, its not an issue; in the summer months I can play for an hour and still have a dry instrument. Not so this time of year.
