Mineral oil... it may effect the tuning but the wood may split someday if it is not fed

Does anyone have any advice about proper care for an old rosewood marimba (1920's)?
Should the wood be treated with anything, or does that risk affecting tone/tuning?
While we are on the subject, the bottom octave of my marimba could use tuning (the fundamentals are ok, but the overtones are a little funky) does anyone have
recommendations/experiences with marimba tuners?
Thanks.
