How to clean a tarnished mouthpiece - LIFE HACK VERY EASY

There’s probably a better way but this works I guess.

[@Therealrealbenji]

I used to sound bad. After cleaning, my mouthpiece is much shinier when I sound bad. Thanks, Scott!

[@ScottLegerHorn]

you're welcome.

Thanks, tried this with my bassoon reed, worked like a charm 😁

I played that solo in the background for my all district ensemble! that’s cool :)

For those curious, because I’ve heard this before, it is titled “Morceau for French Horn and Orchestra” I think

these videos are legitimately funny.

I clean my french horn mouthpiece with watered down Listerine. I tried the boil and it worked super well.

[@samuelgaona7196]

I played that piece my freshman year for solo and ensemble and absolutely nailed it!

[@izizwhatiziznt]

I'm playing Jupiter from Holst's "The Planets" for solo and ensemble next week (arranged for horn quartet)

[@JackalSniperSnipez]

I did the same for my instrument, it works very effectively! (Do NOT boil your instrument)

[@pastashack3517]

This works great for drum heads too

[@andrewexists4517]

I used to only be able to play a Middle C, but now that I've used your mouthpiece cleaning guide, I can finally reach C9 on my horn!

[@ScottLegerHorn]

It’s that easy!

[@hornisthorn]

So my french horn mouthpiece was crusty, musty, and dusty. BUT BOY it didn’t allow me to play good. I dropped it in soap and water to let it soak Did the trick

[@mountainsky4279]

Wright’s Silver Polish is the way to go!

[@GrilledCheese_ObamaSandwich]

I used this with my shilke 51d and it is so shiny now :)

I polish my mouthpieces with silver polish when they get bad. They end up looking pretty much perfect.

Love your excitement level. 😂 Love your videos

Bravo. Very god. Super effective and easy and clean

[@AKprime051]

Dads a tuba player, i used to play the euphonium. We soaked our mouthpieces in a cup of Listerine LMAO.

[@vie5121]

Does this work for trombone too?

[@theBoomerDoomer]

Bar Keepers Friend foaming spray will work wonders on raw or plated brass. I came back to playing this year, after a break of nearly 20 years. My mouthpieces were all badly tarnished. A couple squirts of the cleaner on the cups and a little rubbing made them look pristine. To finish, I rinsed them off with a little water and alcohol, and dried with a microfiber towel.

[@alexreeves2686]

Hey I played this background music as a solo last year, got a 1 😊

[@thingsfromatoz7440]

Amazing 🙌

[@musicalaviator]

Longer than 15sec, wrap the foil around the mouthpiece so its touching, keep adding more baking soda, let the water cool till you can stick your hand in, touch the foil to get electrons to transfer to the foil. Only works on silver.

[@emaliembMusic]

thanks man

[@palmer.b]

incredible

[@DutchCreekRanch1]

Lol. Been there done that

[@Korrupt27]

If you get a different bowl and then out the boiling water in it and leave it for like 10 min it cleans it a lot better

[@Childish_Gavino]

what mouthpiece do you use?

I have a bronze cup. It’s supposed to be a matt finish but I’m one of those irritating people who needs something to fiddle with, constantly. I spend a lot of time on Zoom (Union stuff mostly) - so my mouthpiece is constantly shiny. Still sound rubbish though!

[@cheeseboy5168]

Can you do this with a gold plated mouthpiece?

Does this hurt the mouthpiece?

[@annarushing8924]

What does the foil do?

[@ScottLegerHorn]

The foil causes the chemical reaction with the baking soda that cleans the mouthpiece

[@lastnamefirstname850]

The sulfur (that bonds with silver and creates the tarnished looks) more easily reacts with aluminium than with silver thus reversing the tarnish without using any abrasive methods. Baking soda is just a catalyst and you don't need to boil the water, hottest from your tap will be enough. You can also leave leave the mthpc or instrument or anything silver for a while in such a bath without any adverse effects. Gently polish with silver cloth (which is very very slightly abrasive) afterwards to completely remove any tarnish left.

toothpaste is the best

Why not just put it in the boiling water without the tin foil?

[@ScottLegerHorn]

The tin foil causes the chemical reaction with the baking soda that clears the tarnish
