Trumpets Caring for them

[Greg Massey]

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

Guess I do not know what you are talking about as I do not deal with those types of people.

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
