all them fancy words scared me away!
Very good info. on that site. Thanks for the link. GHB players have lots of uninformed opinions about whether or not to oil their mouth-blown pipes. Lots of superstition and misinformation about what oils do or don’t do. The science is sound and well presented, not scary at all.
I kept looking for the line that read: “but for you non-scientists, just use this oil”
Hey, I remember this article! IIRC, it got posted in the Flute Forum years back. I got from it the word “desorb”, which I use to describe a particular function when I go off to the men’s room.
