Doctor's Advice

Last week I found a parcel on the doorstep in a plain wrapper, addressed to my husband. The label said it contained The Doctor's Products. Oh, I thought. What can this be?

That evening, we unwrapped the parcel and applied its contents —especially formulated, all natural, blend of non-toxic exotic, oils, antioxidants, and stabilizers ... made by the Doctor himself—carefully following his enclosed instructions.

People’s enjoyment of my programs comes from my humorous approach and passion for making and using products and techniques, explains Dr Henderson ... in contrast to what is on the shelves of the corner store or urban legends passed down through the ages ...

Oil your instrument "Nature's Way"... Expensive, yes, but worth the peace of mind.

There are 3 parts to the Oiling Rig, we were informed. The two natural wool mops and the slotted tip and cotton jersey swabs. Oil should be applied to the mops sparingly so that they are damp, not dripping wet. (This last sentence was in bold font and underlined.) The smaller mop is used to oil the upper tenon. Since the register tube extends into the bore and no mop will pass it, I will angle the small mop to pass on either side of the tube from the top of the upper tenon and then oil the rest of the bore of the upper tenon from the bottom side...

After use the mops may be stored in the little plastic bags until next use. Bore Doctor will not turn rancid over time so this is an easy storage solution.

We were then supposed to let the oil sit for 12-16 hours.

This procedure adds dimensional stability, retards the tendency to crack or split, prevents water logging, and improves your overall tone.

Still not sure what I'm talking about?
