Here's how to do it . . . these are GHBs though.

It helps to put the fingerholes in the right places and these people have a
nifty way of doing so at 02.40

Again, its GHB. But very appealing because it's an animation from 1916 and
silent, of course.

Hi all,
I know this question has probably been asked before, but what oil
should I use to oil the wood and the key pads on my NSP? Also, how
does one obtain the little nail polish bottle with the cap/brush that
I've seen professional use when oiling their pipes? Thank you.

Hi Tom,
I'll let others advise on the oil, but the bottles are gained by boldly
walking into a nail and beauty salon and asking for either an unused one
or an empty, then applying loads of acetate to clean it up.
Best wishes,
Richard.

Hello Richard,
That's what I did, though I think you meant acetone. It's pretty awful stuff
and needs to be treated with care. One source of small quantities is nail
varnish remover.

Errmmm, no actually I got lots of sheets from an overhead projector and
wiped it until or there again I'm just getting old and forgetful
and meant acetone all the time. Whooops.
Thanks, Francis.
Richard.

The nail varnish remover is quite a weak strength of it.
The alternative is to get the remover, clean the brush with it and just
empty the last dregs from the bottle
Sorry forgot to mention, pipe cleaners are very handy if you don't want to
use the nail varnish brush method. They reach everywhere including the bore
(via the holes) and into those hard to get places near the keys.
It's pretty easy to get a tiny bottle for the oil.
To avoid getting too much
Not advice just an historical point.
When I was learning the pipes (two pipes teachers down the line from
Tom Clough) I was told that Tom said the oil (olive - the sort for
dissolving wax in lugs NOT premier virgin) should be dripping off
the end of your chanter!
I still use
No, its what frightens the dogs on Bunfire Nicht.
Wasn't Sodden Bungs one of those British rock/blues bands from the 60s?

Hi
I managed to buy little bottles with brushes and a wider neck (easier to
pour oil in) on ebay-they're used for aromatherapy.
Just to add to what has already been said on oils, I have gone through the
various suggestions over the years and have come back to neatsfoot oil.
Olive was OK.
I don't use anything for my pads, nor do I clean my chanter between 1
year or more.

I'm partial to almond oil. Very light and easy to apply and wipe off
the excess. Never gets rancid or makes clots.
