Re: Removing ancient "crud"

I grew up trying to keep wooden clarinets AWAY from water, so was quite surprised to see a very respected repair shop immerse wooden clarinet bodies in water (after removing all keys etc), but another repair person I know (who trained with Schreiber making instruments) also does this, before scraping all crud off, drying and oiling the wood (he actually immerses the wood in oil under pressure so you see little air bubbles come out of the wood, fascinating).
