Giving Your Trombone A Bath

[@luss1978]

Thanks for the video. I just bought my son a new Yamaha trombone and the dealer specifically suggested giving the instrument a "bath" at least 4 times per year. They said that this would prevent the need for chemical cleaning and extend the life of the horn.

[@sinfonian2013]

Derek Lussier It won't prevent the need for a chem clean, but it will definitely prolong it. At a certain point, he'll have junk in the horn and on the slides that just won't come off without a chem clean, especially if he plays a lot.

[@gamerdogthedog]

Thank you so much! I watch this every time I bathe my trombone!

[@gracema9798]

Instructions unclear- live snake stuck in trombone slide LOLOLOLOLOL

[@FinnbarrGoesFast]

Seagull shat on my trombone inner slide on the gig, had to rinse it in the nearest sink

[@wateredmilk6089]

washing your inner slide can disintegrate your cork behind your first position. the cork muffles the sound when your move your slide into 1st position, if you give it a bath it will be a loud "clank" when going into 1st position. i suggest taking it to your local repair shop to get it professionally cleaned... share your opinion with me about what you think!

[@sambroten5513]

ye, I have an old Yamaha student bone that I bought when I started and every time I go to first position it clanked but I'm to lazy to go and get it cleaned professionally

[@wateredmilk6089]

LOL me too, i have the same problem

[@BrassRecordings]

Anyone can clean their trombone themselves. I'd recommend a professional clean only if you can't remove a bad smell, or certain parts of the trombone aren't working as well as they should (e.g the slide sounds scratchy when you move it, tuning slides no longer push out, slide is out of alignment etc). If you know what you're doing when cleaning your Trombone then you should be able to do a really good job.

[@ThiccMidgett]

You can just buy a new one cheap, man. You know how much it costs to make a cork?

[@gacha_alex3299]

I remember this year I’m a trombonist and by the end of the school year we had one kid that broke the Spit vowel we had a kid that has gone through Two trombones and then that kid her slide The slide didn’t come out so the band director forced it to come out and wipe it off the towel and we were laughing at how gross it was

[@54321blader]

That's my thinking with tuba, I'm currently using my school's and it isn't actually functioning enough to bathe it properly, some of the tuning slides refuse to move.

[@MaxRamos8]

make sure you get all the water out or else it will rust, had to get a new horn since my bell rusted off the attachment to connect it to the slide.

It can't rust, because it doesn't contain any iron. It can however be damaged by red rot.

@Probable Possibilities Don't do that. Pianos are a little too big and they don't like tight areas. It stresses them out and they'll get out of tune (I know from experience). To wash a piano, you take it outside and you spray it with a hose.

[@statingtheobvious8119]

Sssssss-shit 🐍

[@BrassRecordings]

You want to be careful when fully submerging your inner-slide in water. I'd recommend against doing that. Inside the top of your inner-slide is cork that stops the trombone making a 'clangy' sound when you come all the way into 1st position. The cork helps 'soften' the slide when you come to first position so people can't hear the brass hit the top of your slide. If you get that cork wet, it can disintegrate and fall out, and then you'll need to have it replaced.

[@sambroten5513]

Is it easy to get replaced tho?

[@BrassRecordings]

It is if you go to a Trombone repairer. They can put new cork stoppers at the top of your inner slide quite easily.

[@TheDarkElk]

If it's really old, it needs a professional chemical clean. Take it to a local instrument repair store. It should cost about $30-60. Really all brass need a chemical clean every 2-5 years.
