Better think of : How can I care better THAT THE HORN IS NOT SPOILED INSIDE. If a snake is needed to clean the lead pipe inside, my goodness, how long are the intervals between cleaning your horn. If you care, nothing accumulates inside the lead pipe, nearly nothing.
But if you eat candies & cake during the intervals, drinking all the sugar containing refreshments and forget to clean mouth & teeth, yes, a lot of dirt will accumulate. If you consider my advise to care about the instrument, you have not to care about using a snake to scratch away all the crusts left in your horn. Snake can lose parts of the brush. These parts can be flushed into another corner of the horn & remaining there for years, perhaps, but you would wonder about some crazy noise in your horn. Inside flush your horn once a month, should be enough. Get it ultra sonic cleaned every two or three years by a good repair man who has these facilities or where else you find ultra sonic cleaning equipment bif enough to contain a horn. =========================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rebecca ferris Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 8:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] RE: Horn Cleaning i don't get it, why is a snake so bad? and if a snake is not used, then how does the horn get cleaned? -rebecca >An how about the effect of a cleaning snake, where parts of the brush >get off & are swapped into the valve system ????? > >Detergent, attaching the pipe of the hand brush to the lead pipe (take >care that the water does not get too hot for your hand !) & let the >water flush all through.
