It depends on how often you play. If you are playing your horn every day or almost every day, then every month is a good schedule. I recommend swabbing out your leadpipe and main tuning slide after every time you play. That really helps reduce the chances of red rot in your leadpipe etc. Thanks for playing along !
No. That's not needed. After playing, I just want to remove as much moisture (spit) that's in my trumpet. I do swab the third tuning slide, main tuning slide, and lead tube to dry them before I put my horns away. See the video on this channel on how to make a swab with stuff you probably have around the house if you'd like. Good luck !
How often do I have to clean my trumpet 🎺
