if a clarinet is dried out or swollen from dirt and dryness than oil is needed. a clarinet has to have a proper moisture level in the wood for the air to go through it properly and also for the resonance to create tone can be achieved.
coffee drinking..smoking..toothpaste dental decay etc..who knows how this affects the moisture that goes into the clarinet..however, the upper joint is the area most affected and can be wrecked by not being cared for etc.. so a smart tech is best to answer this question..I say the clarinet needs to have a balance in moisture or oil content in the wood to play well. Most overhaul people will oil a clarinet with lemon or lemon oil extract to clean and bring back lost moisture..not just the bore but the other area which is just as important..the outside of the clarinet which affects tone too!
