Thank you for the oil tip. I will try it this weekend on a squeaky, rebellious, long-time-favorite, recorder. Its been in rivers and lakes and subjected to terrible conditions....but because it was "The First" there is a nostalgia.

Sincerely,

I believe I recently (last four weeks) saw a beautiful poster for "Jocob's natural flutes" (in a music store? travel agency?) or for "wood" or "recorders" or "instruments" any number of other combinations....I can't find the web-link yet...
