Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 25th, 2013 also if it does not come apart right away do not rush it ,we dont want to break it and better late than never . and when i seeethat old clarinet player hopefully tommorro ,i will ask him some questions ,about the cork , Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 25th, 2013 tseligas wait i more day and let me find out because will elmers slip and slide affect the wood . sound ? the professional clarinet restorers soak the clarinet in a oil bath , google clarinet restoration and see what comes up ,, also if you remove the keys , and the post are still tight leave them on . because i ve seen where the take them off and the treads strip out and then they use super glue to put them back Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 25th, 2013 Ok I just found I also got a Lithium dry lube (WHICH IS TOXIC) and WD40, 10W40 motor oil and olive oil.. I just read that Elmer's slide All has Acetone and I am not big of a fan of putting a strong solvent on the clarinet. Thoughts? Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 25th, 2013 i would not use olive oil , it will put a flim on when it dries i vote no a big no also try to heat up the barrel with a hair dryer ,and rock it off do not turn it because it might snap the tenon, Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 25th, 2013 OK good input! I will wait until tomorrow and I will try to educate myself more! This is sooo much fun! Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - leventis - March 26th, 2013 GREAT PROJECT Guys!! Keep it going! I already learned many things on this thread! I would put it in the freezer in a ziplocked bag so it doesnt absorb any moisture. Then try to rock the barrel back and forth from different angles. Maybe repeat. I don't think the freezer will hurt the instrument as long as you don't play it right after! Then I would maybe try some oils.. Tseliga that acetone that you mentioned really doesnt' sound like a good idea. It may attack whatever coating is on wood right now. Regarding petrol based products like vaseline... I don't think that they hurt the wood. ( Vaseline has been used routinely for greasing the corks). The motor oil sounds kinda extreme! Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 26th, 2013 tseligas ,motor oil maybe , but what i see some people use walnut oil , what ever you do let it soak 1 week if you have to , every day try to rock it loose , if it moves a hair next time it will move 2 . Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 26th, 2013 How is WD40?? Motor oil sounds...too thick and not too penetrating. Elmer's slide all dries very fast and won't penetrate. Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - tseligas - March 26th, 2013 How about the fridge technique... I don't think it will hurt. Reviving a Triebert Brevert C LP clarinet - chitowngreek - March 26th, 2013 try it and let me know , the old timers did not have refrigerators to begin with so this might work and if it does i will spread the word ,maybe 10 w motor oil ,this is youre first restoration so it will a learning experience . |
