 Re: Student suddenly can't play?

The very best way to clean a register tube is to first use a pipe cleaner, and then use the plastic piece that comes with canned air - take the long tube off of the air container (the air that you would use for say blowing dust off of a computer) and that plastic (4-5 inch thin tube) is the PERFECT thickness to place inside the register tube hole, and will push any stuck debris that the pipe cleaner missed.

A very famous Phila repairman used a pipe cleaner on a Selmer Signature to clean the register tube out (as a matter of course), but it didn't get everything out. There was a rather large piece of debris (swab material, dirt???) that I got with my air can tube.

Was rather impressive the size that debris was!
