rinse the lysol off before playing the mouthpiece.
i do this with many mouthpieces. for example when i have a student sax
to repair and i cant seem to find anything really wrong with it, if irst
clean the mothpiece in the way i described to romeve all the bacteria
and gook in it and play the insrument with the students mouthpice to
make sure it is not th emouthpiece that is the problem. asd long as you
rinse the mouthpiece out you will be fine
