Re: Do you swab your mouthpiece? DISCUSSION

I have a very small homemade cotton swab attached to a short length of plastic covered garden wire which I use on the mouthpiece. Always putting in via the tenon and pulling carefully through to avoid abrading the edge or tip rails.
Admittedly I mostly play on crystal mouthpiece but also use it on ebonite with no ill effect after many years.
Only bother to use it at home after practice sessions.

I advise my youger customers to occasionally clean their mouthpieces with luke warm water and detergent in a plastic bowl using a mouthpiece brush or soft kitchen paper to clean the bore and very gently the chamber.
Gets rid of the home grown penicilin anyway.
