The most common issue encountered by beginning trumpet students is an apparent jam in the trumpet. Turn the trumpet around many times to draw off all the water. When you're done, dry each part off, gently shake the water out, and place the slide or cap on a towel. Obviously this air contains moisture and all kinds of germs, which builds up over a period of time to form a lot of debris in your instrument, thus affecting the sound quality as well as the general health of your trumpet. We'll discuss the details of how to clean your horn and specifically [https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/81110999-u8cxvuw892 how to clean a trumpet] mouthpiece and valves below. My trumpet drying off on an old towel. Run the mouthpiece cleaning brush through a couple of times. Place the horn and all the parts in the hot soapy water. The springs and the felt pads in the valves are to be removed carefully (these should not get wet otherwise they will get spoiled), before cleaning the valves. Sometimes, if you add oil in the wrong position of your valves, they can get stuff the sound when you are playing. Carefully thread the top valve cap clockwise, push the valve up and down a few times to distribute the oil, and you're all done and ready to do the next one. I've started using them to run valve oil through the horn to keep oxidation from reducing the resonant quality of the horn. 3. Clean valves and valve casings with soap, water, and cleaning brush. 2. Soak your mouthpiece for about 20 minutes in the soapy water to loosen buildup. B. Remove excess moisture from the slides, and wipe the lubricated areas clean with a soft cloth. While you are at it, also clean the mouthpiece with the tapered brush. Note that if your trumpet is a Bach Stradavarius Bb, the third valve slide can be separated into two parts. You pull the flexible brush through the lead pipe and slides of your horn to easily mop out saliva and particles left from blowing. If the instrument is silver-plated instead of brass-lacquered, you can use a silver polish cloth to keep the outside shiny. I pushed the sludge slowly through the leadpipe using our cleaning brush. In most cases, the valve guides face either side of the trumpet, away from both the bell and mouthpiece. In this video, I demonstrate the proper way to clean your brass mouthpiece. To grease the slides, first remove the slide and wipe off the old grease, then apply fresh slide grease to the end of one slide tube and twist this slide tube while pushing it in. This will evenly distribute the grease. Later, you'll need slidegrease and oil for your valves. To prevent this, you can lubricate your trumpet's slides. For larger instruments which may not fit completely under the water, pour soapy water down the bell. It only requires small force to remove the valves and slides, so don't apply too much to do so. If you come across a stuck valve, do not force it out. There is a second smaller sphere on a plastic stick which is for cleaning pipes and slides. After playing, be sure to wipe your instrument off with a soft cloth, if necessary with a special lacquer polish or silver polish. Grease the slides and insert them into the receivers, wiping away any excess grease. Move the slide in and out slowly with water inside, then remove and dry thoroughly. Add a few drops of oil to the valves and install them taking care to put them back into the casings from which they were removed. Although brass and nickel-silver-the materials which are used for slides-are extremely resistant to corrosion, there is a danger of progressive corrosion if moisture remains in a slide for a long time. OILING THE VALVES - do this about 2 times a week. The exterior of the trumpet can be cleaned with a washcloth, but make sure it is soft (cotton works well) and does not leave scratches. Although I don't give instructions for it here, you should also clean your mouthpiece out with a Mouthpiece Brush.
