Does your instrument need cleaning? Over time, wind instruments collect saliva, oil, grease, dirt, lime scale, perspiration acids and other debris. Without professional cleaning, valve, slide and rotor action on brasswind instruments may become sluggish as non-filtered dirt is ground into the casings or external slides. In woodwinds, many become odorous due to lack of drainage. On certain name brand instruments, lead pipes, tuning slides and trombone slides rot prematurely from the inside out as saliva eats through the brass.
For brass players, check your valve caps, tuning slides and mouth pipes. If there are black deposits in the lower valve caps or a green to white slime inside the tuning slide or red dots on the lead pipe (mouth pipe), it's time for cleaning. For woodwind players, check the instrument bore, tone-hole or sax bow area. If debris is present, it's ready for cleaning.
