Cleaning
Step 1
Vacuum the oboe case with a bristle attachment to initially remove any debris that may be left in the case.
Step 2
Dust the inside of the case with a feather duster to ensure that no dust was left behind by the vacuum cleaner.
Step 3
Wipe down the insides of the case with a slightly damp, but not wet, cloth. This removes any remaining debris.
Maintenance
Step 1
Close the case after you've removed your oboe to play. Many oboists keep the case open during practice sessions. This is unnecessary and allows debris to enter the case.
Step 2
Clean the oboe by using a cleaning rod and running it through the inside of the clarinet barrel. Wipe down the outside of the oboe after use with a dry cloth. This ensures the oboe is clean before placing it in the case.
Step 3
Wrap the oboe in a cloth before putting it back in the case. This ensures that any debris left on the oboe won't fall into the case.
