I am currently cleaning up and restoring an old Japanese "Mayfair" floor tom.
The wood inside the shell seems brittle and dusty. Is there something I can use to liven it up a little and breathe some new life into it? I have read about wood conditioners and/or oils. Can anyone tell me if that's something I should do? And, if so, can someone recommend a product to use for this.
Finally - if you have any info about the japanese mayfair drum, i'd love to hear it. I haven't been able to find much about them online.
