Tell us something.: I've been playing whistle for a very long time, but never seem to get any better than I was about 10 years ago. I'm okay with that. :)
Hi. For those of you that have a CB FF, did it come with instructions? Mine didn't and I'm wondering if it needs a breaking in period (probably too late ) and if and how soon I should oil it.
I have some food grade almond oil with vitamin E that I use for wooden whistles.
Thanks for any info, and yes I will email Casey if no one here is forthcoming with suggestions.
I believe you can find those instructions on Casey's website, but here's the jist. Don't play more than 5 minutes at a time, up to one hour a day for the first month. After that you can play longer. Oil after every 5 to 10 hours of playing time.

I think that's excessive too. But if you're using almond oil (or olive, peanut, etc) and this being a keyless flute, you won't do any harm. You can take the approach of oiling after (or before) each playing if you want.
If you oil so often with a drying oil like linseed, you'll probably create accumulation inside the bore.
