Could you use this on an older violin?

This oil would be only be appropriate to clean and condition an ebony fingerboard on a violin but we would not recommend using this on the violin itself. There may be a permanent adverse reaction with the varnish such as staining or softening.

How much oil is in the bottle? Magnifying the picture looks like 2 oz, but it's not clear. The product information says 0.6 oz.

2 ounces and it last forever and works great.

Would you recommend for my Yamaha wooden clarinet?

The oil is intended for the fretted neck of a guitar. To clean, preserve and lubricate for easier fingering. I don't know it that's a good thing for a clarinet or not.

What are the ingredients that make up this item?

After looking at my bottle, it does not say the exact ingredient makeup but says it contains petroleum distillates and lemon oil. It smells and feels like pure lemon oil. This is an excellent product. It cleans, removes dirt, decreases, and removes any wax buildup without any residue left behind. I use this on my expensive classical guitars without hesitation and it works wonderfully. I also use to recondition and clean my guns butt stocks and wood parts. Great product. Worth every penny.

Use only on unfinished dark woods!

I've purchased a couple of used guitars which had a lot of grime/gunk on the fretboard. Any good wood cleaner/conditioner will probably work but unless you're cleaning 100 guitar necks (or your kitchen cabinets) this is probably a cheaper option.Anyway, this worked really well. It cleaned up one neck very easily, the second neck took a bit of elbow grease but it got the job done. A couple of drops goes a long way so this should last you for several treatments even if you have 20 guitar necks to clean.This is only for unfinished dark woods (as stated on the label).

Very good

If you dont have this, get it. Any form of fretboard oil for cleaning and hydration helps with appearance and wood quality and every guitarist should have this for their guitars.

Transforms guitars

This fretboard was sticky and hard to play on, covered in dirt. After around just 15 minutes of applying this stuff it's practically brand new, and it feels so much better now. I've used it on other guitars that had really bad wear I just forgot to get pictures but they all turned out feeling good as new. Works like a charm and definitely worth the cheap price.
