How do y'all take care of your trumpets ? Do you clean the mouth piece with pipe cleaners and do you use any kind of polish for the outside of them?
I just dip my MP into some alcohol(without lipstop) a few times during the season. Never really worry about the barrel, but could certainly wax it once in a while. I do keep my wood calls in a humidity controlled room, but only because I have it set up already to store guitar/violin wood.
Pipe cleaner with isopropyl alcohol through the mouth piece few times per season and end of season.
I don't let anyone but me suck on my mouth peice. Just hang it up ...... when I'm done
Renaissance wax on outside
even before covid, a new to me trumpet or one somebody used, I spray alcohol thru it
Alcohol through the mouth piece with a pipe cleaner, not the lip stop and Renaissance wax on the barrel.
Who do y'all buy trumpets from to need to run alcohol through them? Lol.
I just wax them with Renaissance Wax on them here and there.

Well,davisd9, you never know where that mouth piece might have been before you got it, no matter who you got it from. LOL

I only buy from who I trust so I have no concerns. Even so, it has been in a package for at least 3 days so most germs will be dead by the time it gets to me. If not, well I have yet to catch Covid and I work in school settings.

This is true,
It's appalling what some people will do to a trumpet trying to get rasp out of it

:TooFunny:, Haven't you ever watched any of those hidden video camera shows, you would never eat in a restaurant again
In all seriousness there was a thread or a post on a thread a couple years ago about mold with some kind of mold hairs inside of a trumpet
It never hurts to wipe. I guess some people never do.. Agree it's your decision on how you want to take care of your trumpets. If you feel no need to clean it after season again that's your decision. I just think it's a good idea to clean them after season or after using ever so often, it kind of like brushing you teeth only after turkey season. I just like brushing my teeth everyday.. LOL..

Well it is what it is and there is a lot of factors that could cause that rather than normal use. I am not worried about it and I am definitely not running alcohol through natural materials like ivory and Buffalo horn.
I wonder if the mold that people have had form is from running them hard then standing them up when you put them away? Too little air flow when they're standing?
I dont do a thing to my call, it is finished inside and out and I am the only one using them.
