Tell us something.: Kind of a beginner with a keyless flute and an antique wooden flute with keys. Used to play accordion back some time ago, but trying to focus on the flute, until I can get some degree of command over it.

Heat and Almond Oil

Post by est »

It's probably time to do some oiling and a month or so ago, I ordered some Almond Oil with Vitamin E in it from Amazon. It was nicely delivered to my neighbor's mailbox who was in the process of not living in the home due to a cross-country move. I have no idea how long it sat in his mailbox, but it was several weeks later that he dropped it off at my door with a little note explaining that it had been delivered to the wrong address.

Anyway, should I just toss this bottle and assume it's bad or should it be fine as long as it doesn't smell weird (and by weird, I have no idea what almond oil should smell like, but am hopeful that I could recognize rancid oil).

Tell us something.: I play traditional Irish and Scottish music.
"The beginner should approach style warily, realizing that it is an expression of self, and should turn resolutely away from all devices that are popularly believed to indicate style — all mannerisms, tricks, adornments. The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity."

Vit E is to stop it going off ... should be ok if it smells ok .
The mind is like a parachute; it only works when it is open.

Especially if the bottle is full and unopened.
