Caring for the Interior
of Your Oboe
Removing the Reed
Carefully dry the reed with a clean cloth and place it in a
double reed holder. Never leave it on your oboe.
Cleaning the Body and Pads
•Draw the cleaning swab
through the body and
remove all moisture.
Yamaha oboe swab
(YAC1053P) comes in
two sizes: a narrow one
for the upper joint and a
large one for the lower
joint and bell section.
•Tenons tend to collect
moisture, especially at
the upper and lower
joints. Wooden oboes
will begin to split in this
area, so be careful to
remove all moisture
with gauze (YAC 1059P).
•When drying a pad,
insert cleaning paper
(YAC 1095P) between
it and the tone hole and
lightly press down.
