This article contains huge amounts of interesting information on oiling wooden instruments (recorders actually, but you’ll still find it interesting). 
Thanks Paul, interesting indeed, especially since I just bought a Bleazey flute and a bottle of almond oil! 
Dear Dr Paul
Thanks for all the fish, but I can’t read Australian.
I just acquired a polly unsaturated wood susatowind, or vice-versa.
May I replace the SAE 15W-50 HP gear oil, recommended by the builder for the tuning gasket, with jojoba oil, since my newlyborn sucks on it, and so does the reXXXXX whistle, too?
Yours sincerely

HOH interacts with the Hemicelluloses after playing Hemidemisemiquavers so remember those Alternative Impregnation Stategies!
Who knew they actually published a journal like “American Rcrd*r”?! I want to know if there’s a corresponding journal, “American Whistle”!
Sure. It’s called “The Chiff & Fipple Email Newsletter.” 
Is it a good idea to store a wood flute in a humidor - especially if it will not be played for a long period of time?
Yes, especially if your climate is arid or has dry spells. Mildew can set in, though, so you need to monitor this; leaving wooden whistles or flutes unattended for long periods in closed humidifying containers isn’t a good idea.
Very interesting, Paul. Frustrating, though, that camellia oil hadn’t been mentioned. I believe Andrew champions it.
But I got a new word out of the study. Now when I make a trip to the jakes, I can say that I must desorb.
If I ever get a wooden whistle, I’m oiling it with bacon grease. Mmmmm. Bacon…
VB, you are out there, WAY out there! :roll:
