Don't boil your MP!!!!!

I've posted this story before, but now might be a good time to do it again.

Back in High School, my MP got to the point where it really needed a cleaning. My brother played trombone and boiled his MP regularly, so I tried it with my nice Selmer. It came out a nasty OD green color and the rails warped. It NEVER played right again. I could have moved to the sax section and nobody would have noticed by the sound.

I vote for the Doctor's cleaner, or 50/50 vinegar/water.
