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

If you intend to bath your horn the first time after years and if your horn is not lacquered, well, you should use a professional soap which contains some sand so to clean away all the grid accumulated. Just joking. Real: use a mild dish washer detergent & mild warm water. ===

A bit of knowledge in geography might reveal, that something is wrong with that obscure "Linz" horn "made in Italy", as Linz has nothing to do with Italy. The producer of this instrument might have nothing to do with the engravings either, but the dealer (s), who got it engraved (perhaps). Such ki

Depends on the human input. Sometimes you are blowing into the horn perfectly (you think doing so), but it comes out "bent", so you think the fault being the horn, --- ooops, or was it just opposite, blowing the horn incorrectly, but the horn correcting everything, so to be a good horn ? ===
