Two examples of the problem - I think, I believe. No criticism of m1964 meant. The problem is that these ideas, which are basically anywhere between opinions and educated guesses with a lot of "conventional wisdom" repeated from other sources, are all we have to work with.
What we really can't do is say that anyone really knows with any certainty.
I asked earlier, and I'll ask again (not meant rhetorically) - do any of the clarinet manufacturers (or, opening this up, oboe or bassoon makers) today specifically recommend an oiling routine for their instruments?
