 Wood cleaning question
Author: ptarmiganfeather

Hello. What is the recommended way to clean the wood on an old oboe?

I have an old ring system oboe for restoring. After searching the board the clarinet side had some suggestions. Lemon pledge (recommended by Laubin according to the post). Murphy's oil soap, soap and water, Doctor's brand soap, all kinds of things. Not one stood out. What about cleaning the bore?

So in an effort to not damage the vintage wood on this oboe, I want to clean it well so it will not deteriorate or dry out and crack. I haven't wrecked anything - yet.

Thank you in advance for replies.
