Hi folks,
Newbie lurker so that's why my address may seem unfamiliar. I'm a
new clarinetist (old saxophonist). This might seem like an obvious
question but it's one of those things that must have been explained on a
day I missed. We just had the swab got stuck conversation which stemmed
some sidelines about the best material for a swab. I'd love some thoughts
on that and also just some general knowlwedge on what one can put their
mouthpice through in terms of cleaning procedures. Is there a once a
month regimen for a thorough cleaning (of the wole horn, clearing
the moving parts of excess oil and lint etc.) anyone follows (kind like
when brass players give their horn the occassional bath --though
obviously without the H20)? Any wisdom on this matter would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you!
jj
