I’m a flute player, but I used to be apart of an honor society that did a brass instrument clean out every year. For elementary schools. We would work through eight different schools with about...ten to fifteen instruments each. We could start around 2:30 PM, and finish around 5-6 PM, depending on how many workers we had that year. (My first year there were only four of us, and our director.) I was meticulous about how I cleaned the ones that passed by me, but...the things we found in those instrument. I found a lego figure in a euphonium. Practically everything was black in them. My director was confused when he couldn’t get water out of the bell of a tuba. He reached in, and we all heard something crunch. He pulled out an entire sandwich in a ziplock bag. He just started at us with the most done expression while we all cracked up. Ahhh good times.

A word of caution... Brasso is meant to polish door knobs and brass rails, NOT musical instruments. If you have a non-plated instrument it WILL take the lacquer off and ruin the finish. I would stick to just soap, water, and polishing cloths for the inexperienced. I'm all for educating on good horn care but, if you're in doubt, PLEASE take your horn to a professional to get it cleaned.

[@lukecgall]

Mark Michelson Of course! Never use Brasso on lacquer - only on the slides.

[@TechnoReverseChannel]

lol exactly what I was thinking

[@LowReedExpert1]

Luke Gall my friend, Brasso is way too aggressive for slides, I'd suggest switching to something a lot less abrasive like Wenol or Wright's

[@cloudsponge6839]

Im a string player, how in the world did I ended up here?

[@k3w1k47]

I'd refrain from using Brasso on slides as it is an abrasive polishing compound. Try using a degreaser like purple power. It'll remove all that old oil and grease without messing with the metal . . . well, unless you don't rinse thoroughly. The balloon tip was cool; very clever! All in all, a very cool video, man. I feel like cleaning horns is such a foreign concept to a lot of music students, and it's refreshing to see something like this.

Question about Hagerty's. Does it work for lacquer as well?

Hey Luke, I was wondering if there was a reason behind why you kept the slides out while polishing? Was it simply because they weren’t cleaned yet or is there something regarding the polish to watch out for like how it could be harder for the polish to reach the middle of the horn area? And should I be concerned with covering the lead pipe as well as the tuning trigger? I just recently bought the same horn you have in this video and I love it! Thanks for the awesome resource!

[@kleancut5016]

I picked up a lot of my own cleaning techniques from Drum corps too! I marched Music City last season and have been using a very similar cleaning style Only real difference is that I use Wrights silver polish for my horn. I've been looking for an answer on Can I use Wrights silver polish on a brass horn? I'm assuming that, while it might not be the best, it wont damage the horn but I would love to know. also while I'm here, What drum corps did you march, and when?

[@GraysonGranda]

One thing he forgot in the video: Felt pads, which are common on many brass instruments, should NOT get wet if you can help it. Remove them and leave them outside the tub, and just put them back on when you’re done; they generally don’t need cleaning. If you feel you absolutely need to clean them, use another method.

[@kj4ilk]

note to self to NOT use brass polish on valves (made that boo boo with my trumpet and ruined the valves and casing)

[@dylanbliss911]

I don’t even play instruments. I just like watching people clean

[@frida3218]

i’m a clarinet player and i’ve never seen anything more satisfying

[@jellycatgamer4632]

I'm a flute player but I'm still watching this -_-

[@l.5584]

Sky And Kei me too ≧∇≦

[@annalise8572]

[@anselhuffman4250]

Silly Puffin same

FTC fuck the cadets go cavs, 2017 is their year

[@bengonzalez9358]

SuperFrog 7878 haha

[@MrCookiegrace]

SuperFrog 7878 whoops wasn't their year ): I loved their show tho

[@travellingengineer4509]

Can you please explain to me some more where to clean with Flitz? Is it inside the removable pipes or near them where saliva leaves spots? Can i clean the whole area with it? Moreover, my baritone has a golden finish. Is hagerty safe?

[@abandandmooso3489]

Trumpeter here, with the trumpet 3rd slide, the slide used when playing D, can break trumpets if not careful, and make sure if you decide to removing it, press 1,3 when taking it out and putting it in

[@Dischingo]

What corps did you march DCI or DCA

[@alexplayscello2124]

*Why am I here, I’m a cellist*

[@Desiii..]

Same

[@Cinnamomm]

Me too 😂

[@doescellothingz]

Woooo

[@nataliaray7315]

I'm a violinist and flute player

[@lukelewis46]

Why am I here I’m a euphonium player

[@forkobebean9534]

Would this work with a three valve tuba and i have no bath tub so it might be a hard but this is still helpful

[@reneier7171]

Thank you so much for this! I never really was told how 2 clean my horn and, while I’ve picked up some things, your guide here is the most extensive one I’ve found yet

[@jlhanford01]

I play the hecklephone. Can I use this method to clean that?

[@dump1ing.2005.]

Jennifer Hanford Yeah I’m pretty sure you can

[@nader8358]

I tried this on my mayonnaise. It didn’t work

[@Lovely_morgue]

My section uses some of this stuff to clean our good sousaphones and it takes a long time but it’s so good in the end because it’s literally a mirror and we’ve had them for over 5 years now and they still look new.

[@X-IVX]

Hi! Thank you for this video, this will be *instrumental* in cleaning my piece! Also may I ask, is the flitz and hagertys and flitz safe on silver plated brass or silver brass? And how do I remove oxidized green rust from it? Would the flitz and hagertys work? I made the mistake on using brasso on a part of a sax as a trial. Needless to say, It was a dumb move on my part '^___^).

[@shyguy2656]

wow this is actually helpful. new to your channel, never seen you before, so I expected a joke.

[@lilith6072]

this is an amazing tutorial, thank you!

[@thomaskerschbaum6191]

I have some corrosion on the third valve of my trumpet where the silver lacquer has already worn off. Can I still use the polishing products on it?

[@hearts6169]

If you have a detachable bell for a French Horn. Do you spray the Hagerty’s on the bell separate from the horn or as one. Also how would you take a horn apart for the keys.

[@jamestownsmith1026]

I play bass and am starting to play tuba for marching band and for the occasional song in jazz band that calls for it. This video was great for visualizing what to do for cleaning.

[@vanskid]

that's where you're wrong kiddo... ever heard of a marching tuba

[@turtleguy403]

Contra

[@satagaming9144]

Most high school and college bands use sousaphones, but a few use contras. DCI uses contras though

[@turtleguy403]

AIRPLANES The really WEALTHY high schools, like The Woodlands, uses contras, as they can sometimes cost, in total for the whole section, around $130,000.

[@satagaming9144]

We could never hope to get even nice sousaphones, we have about 3 people on out tuba section, and our band director won't even let us march bass clarinet, he doesn't want anything over about $500 on the field, hell, our uniforms are like 10 years old. Gotta love HISD.

[@TheDbgtfan23]

I play tuba, what's a good alternative to a tub?

[@thegayestgoth]

endermanslayer24 yeah! use a kiddie pool, or one of those large inflatable pools at Walmart

[@sGSdYgsdGA8fSWrRb2uzpMzzt2ys90]

endermanslayer24 you use a bath tub for trombone

[@TheDbgtfan23]

Space Turtle yes, but also my personal concert horn

[@endermanslayer24rulz]

Andrew Wallace Doesn't really matter, as long as it can fit with a little space to move around.

[@samuelrobinson5842]

BlueRhino23 same, brother

[@dogvader]

i play the flute and i was wondering, could you could polish a flute the same way you polished the instrument in the video? (not including cleaning)

[@spamaccount1513]

How does haggerties compare to wrights silver cream? I use it and it makes my horn look new every time
