Your instrument is a valuable item, well worth your respect, care and attention.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Regular maintenance is important \u2013 a little time and effort will certainly pay off and should avoid problems which may result in a costly repair bill.<\/div>\n
However, beware of attempting any repair, however small, yourself.<\/div>\n
If in doubt, consult qualified instrument technician for advice.<\/div>\n
The two most important factors to remember in caring for your brass instrument are CLEANLINESS<\/div>\n
and REGULAR LUBRIFICATION<\/div>\n
Following simple instructions on use and a maintenance permetting the best use of your instrument.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Flush out the instrument at least once a month with a mild, soapy using luke-warm water. Then rinse with cold water and dry thoroughly. Don\u2019t use hot water, itmay damage the lacquer.<\/li>\n
  2. A flexible cleaning brush should be used to clean out slides and tubing, but make sure is renewed at least twice a year to avoid breakage inside he instrument.<\/li>\n
  3. Use a valve cleaner to clean out the valve casing. Do not use a standard flexible brush.<\/li>\n
  4. Use a lint-free cloth, such as cheese cloth, as a swab. This may also be used to wipe the pistons which should be very carefully removed and care taken to replace them in the correct sequence.<\/li>\n
  5. Use only a quality tuning slide grease when lubricating slides and a minimum amount of Antoine Courtois Paris valve oil on the pistons. Use of inferior lubricants can affect the performance of your instrument.<\/li>\n
  6. When you have finished playing, loosen the valve caps by half a turn. This avoid the trapped moisture causing corrosion in the screw threads.<\/li>\n
  7. Make sure that mouthpieces are cleaned thoroughly with warm water a mouthpiece brush. Deposits in a mouthpiece or mouthpipe can be detrimental to the response of your brass instrument.<\/li>\n
  8. Care should be taken when polishing lacquered and silver plated instruments. Harsh abrasives must be avoided all times and only cleaning cloths are recommended.<\/li>\n
  9. Try to keep your instrument in an atmosphere of even temperature and humidity and not leave it in sunlight or near a radiator, event in the case.<\/li>\n
  10. Be careful not to leave the instrument out of the case in a place where it can be sat or knocked by people or animals. (You would be surprised how often large repairs are necessary as a result of this kind of carelessness!).<\/li>\n
  11. Always use a properly fitted case when transporting the instrument andmake sure the latches are secured before you pick up the case.<\/li>\n
  12. Avoid standing the instrument on its bell as this can cause extensive damage and ensure that you use the correct fitting stand for your instrument.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    For trombones:<\/strong><\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Fill the complete slide with warm soapy water and activate the slide up and down several times.\u00a0Remove the water and rinse through with clear, cold water. Repeat as necessary.<\/li>\n
    2. The inner and outer slides should be disassembled and cleaned using a flexible\u00a0cleaner, in conjunction with the slide cleaning kit, to make sure that the cleaner reaches the\u00a0bottom bow of the outer side.<\/li>\n
    3. A SMALL amount of good quality slide cream should be applied to the inner slide stocking and sprayed with the clear water. Trombone oil may also be used as a lubricant, but please make\u00a0sure that water is NOT sprayed on after the application of oil.<\/li>\n
    4. Ensure that the bell and tuning slide are kept clean by running them through with luke-warm water and a tuning slide swab. After drying with a lint-free cloth, apply tuning slide grease before reassembly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
