CLEANING BRASS INSTRUMENTS

“How to Give Your Brass Instrument a Bath” (recommend 3-4 times per year)

1. Prepare the Water: Run warm, NOT HOT, water in a sink or bathtub with Dawn dishwashing soap. (Water that is too hot can melt off the lacquer coating).

2. Disassemble the Instrument: Remove all slides (carefully take apart playing slide for trombone), valves and bottom valve caps and carefully place in the warm, soapy water with the instrument. Remove ONLY the slides for French horn. For euphonium/tuba be careful not to lose the springs underneath the valves.

3. Soak the Parts: Let the instrument, slides, and valves sit in the water overnight or for at least 5 to 6 hours. Run the mouthpiece through a cycle in the dishwasher OR run hot water through the mouthpiece while using a mouthpiece brush (or a Q-tip if you don’t have a brush). I recommend cleaning the mouthpiece at least once a week, especially during the winter cold and flu months.

4. Scrub: After soaking, leave the instrument, slides, and valves in the water and run a snake brush through the slides, instrument tubing, and carefully through the holes in the valves. Use baking soda on the brush for extra cleaning. For trombones make sure to push the snake around the bend of the outer slide. If you don’t have a snake or slide brushes an old toothbrush should work – NO metal bristles.

5. Rinse and Dry: Thoroughly rinse the instrument, valves, and slides with warm water and dry with a towel and/or air dry with a fan.

6. Reassemble with Care: Put a small amount of slide grease on each slide before re-inserting into the instrument. Put valve caps and valves (plus springs for euphonium & tuba) in the correct valve casings (each valve will have a stamped number). Place a few drops of valve oil on each valve (slide oil on the trombone slide) and fasten to the valve casing.

7. Test the Instrument: Play test to make sure the valves are in the correct casing and positioning -- if no air goes through the instrument there is at least one valve in the wrong place.
