 Re: Cleaning the octave vent

Old thread, but crazy useful.... I hope this gets seen again with my new question on it.

I wanted to clean my octave vent with CLR (commercial de-ruster and mineral deposit cleaner) which smells a whole lot like vinegar. The bottle, however, says not to use it on copper or brass: the octave vent parts are made of brass....

Is vinegar also problematic or is it a matter of cleaning long enough, but not too long? Should I brush with a tooth-brush or swab with a cotton-tip?

Thanks
