Caring for the Exterior

of Your Oboe

For daily care, wipe the entire length of the body with a

polishing cloth (YAC 1099P), being careful not to apply

pressure to the keys. Wipe down the keys, taking care

not to scratch them or damage the pads.

Cleaning

Use a tone hole cleaner

(YAC 1049P) to clean the

space under and between

the keys.

Regular Maintenance

Because the oboe has the most complex structure

of all wind instruments, minor temperature and/or

humidity changes as well as exterior pressure can affect

the wood and key mechanisms. We recommend an annual

visit to your local repair technician for oiling the bore and

regular adjustments.

Storing the Instrument

The case should always be used for storing the instrument

after playing and for transporting. Be sure to remove the

reed and store it properly. Do not put anything in the case

that could place pressure on the instrument.

To keep your instrument in optimum playing condition, have it

cleaned and inspected by a qualified repair technician anually.
