Re: 1830's Boxwood clarinet help

Hi Simon! Thanks for your reply. All is going very well with me, and I hope to come back to finish my degree maybe next academic year.

I'll definitely try the plumber's tape. I used it to make the tenons a bit sturdier but I ran out so will have to wait until I get some more. Plugging that top key sounds like a good idea too, as that's a pad that I actually had sealing well at first but now it's completely leaky.

For soaking it in oil, what would you use? I know there's contention about the best oil, but I've seen linseed oil in reference to boxwood. I use almond oil on my grenadilla instruments and I'm happy with that, but maybe boxwood needs something different?

All the best,
Anna
