Questions & AnswersHi everybody, Kevin Smith back, TubaLove doing general maintenance of the horn. And I'm talking about cleaning brushes now and their importance in keeping your instrument clean. I've got three different brushes here right now with me. The longest here, and I'll show you what they do in a minute, is called a snake. And for obvious reasons, it kind of coils around like a snake and its really really long. Okay, this is just used for anywhere within, if I want to go in here into one of the valves, and I just opened up one, but if I want just, if I feel like there might a little sludge in there that I want to get out, that nice little pointy one is just good to get stuff off the sides, around that area. I'm going to show you again. I just had that one in my hand, so I demonstrated that. Put that back in here. And this last one here, which as you can see, is about the same length as this one, but its a lot fatter if you want to call it or brushier or whatever.
