Re: Damage to mouthpieces

Whether or not it will affect the sound depends on just how much build up there is. If it's dirty enough, it can probably change the shape of various aspects of the mouthpiece (depending on where the build up is), which will affect the sound.

In regards to cleaning---DON'T SWAB!!! Never swab a mouthpiece. That will definitely damage the mouthpiece if you do it enough. I think there was probably a thread with lots of mouthpiece cleaning suggestions within the past several months. Perhaps others have advice on the search feature---I was entirely unsuccessful in using it!
