Do you need to oil your Clarinet?

[@2be1withU]

Thank you for the tutorial. Just received the Yamaha clarinet shipped to the US. Couldn't find Prof Weinberg's oil in the US so using Yamaha bore oil.

Thanks, What happens to the external surface?

It's the same oil for trumpet? Or it's specific oil for clarinet? Thanks

Hi - No, the bore oil for wooden instruments is designed specifically for that internal usage. Trumpets don't need any internal oil, but they do use valve oil which is to help the pistons move smoothly, it is a different type of oil. You can view valve oil options here: www.dawkes.co.uk/cornets/accessories/valve-oil

No oil on the mouthpiece?
