Overview of Cleaning Brass InstrumentsHi I'm JD and I am here to talk to you about maintaining your instruments and cleaning them. Why should we clean our instruments? Well I guess its since their air phones, that meaning air travels through them, we don't want to impede the air or give it a hard time as it's going and occasionally as we blow whatever is in our mouth into these things: moisture, condensation, bits of food occasionally, and other non such gets lodged in the instrument. So what you have to do is disassemble the instrument, inspect it, clean the parts if needed, oil them and grease them, the valves the slides. And so today I am going to demonstrate on this baritone how to pull it apart, how to give it a bath, and how to clean it up. I will also be showing you how to do it to another valves instrument, the trumpet. So let's start by inspecting and disassembling our baritone.
