Precautions for Wooden Bodies
The wooden body of a Yamaha oboe is made of from natural grenadilla or kingswood. For
this reason, the instrument is more susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity
than are metal or resin instruments. In particular, sudden changes in temperature or
humidity may distort the wood, resulting in body cracks or key malfunction. The body of
the oboe is thicker and more delicate than many other woodwind instruments.
To keep your instrument in optimal condition for a long period of time, please observe
the following precautions:
• In cold weather, before you play the oboe, allow it to adjust to room temperature.
Never warm up the instrument by blowing into it. Otherwise, drastic changes in
temperature inside the body may cause cracking or other damage.
• When the instrument is new, especially during the first month or two, set it aside
for extended periods of time. Play it little by little, for only about 20 to 30 minutes
per day for the first week, then extend the duration gradually by about 10 minutes
per day.
• After you play the instrument, remove moisture and dirt from inside the instru-
ment using the included cleaning swabs.
• After you play the instrument, store it in its case. Do not store it in places exposed
to high temperature or humidity.
• Before you set the instrument down for a short time, remove moisture and dirt
from it using a cleaning swab, then place it on a stable surface with the keys facing
up.
• Never leave damp gauze or cloth in the case.
The oboe is a very delicate instrument. Do not use it under the following conditions. Oth-
erwise, damage to the body may result.
Do not expose the instrument to:
• Direct sunlight for an extended period of time
• Rain or excessive humidity
• Heat sources, such as stoves or fan heaters
• Cool air, such as from an air-conditioner
