A girl at school today did a speech on care and keeping of a flute, and she said you can rub tooth paste on the head joint of the flute and then wipe it off with a damp cloth to make the flute shiner. She also said, for obvious reasons, only to do it on the head, otherwise you might miss bits of toothpaste in different crevaces of the instrument. I have a silver saxophone, and I'm wondering if this will work for cleaning my sax bell...anybody know?

I personally wouldn't dare putting toothpaste on my flute! I've found a polishing cloth works fine.

Leave the toothpaste for your teeth. Get a silver polishing cloth.

you could use toothpaste since it is an abrassive. It will clean tarnished surfaces but, before using it on the whole bell, use a LITTLE bit on an area that no one can see if it dosen' work th way you wantedt
