I recently had a mouthpeice smashed, so I was using my friends for the
day ( she no longer uses hers). We had been playing for about 3 hours (
it was the rehearsathon) when I took off my reed, and saw one of the most
disgusting things I had ever seen in my entire life! There was so much
nasty buildup!! It was SOOO GROSS! So I have decided that I will swab,
clean and sterilize my mouthpeice at LEAST once a week! thats my nasty
story!
