Thanks, I like the use of card and paper. Just had a try now and it worked well. I actually like the tarnished look. You can see that the whistle has been played a lot when it has finger marks. However, I just used a flute cloth, which I believe is the same a silver cloth (for jewellery). It is covered in chemicals that remove tarnishing. So never wash a silver cloth. Nickel and copper create an environment that is toxic for germs. That's why door handles are made of those materials. So no need to over do it. I use my recorder cleaning, plastic rod with a very thin cloth to remove visible bits and I run my fipple under the tap, or soak in warm soapy water frequently. Plastic can harbour bacteria. I keep my cleaning cloths on the rods, in a jar, like white flags of truce, near the window for max sunlight and air. I clean these cloths weekly in diluted disinfectant.
This method should be all right, but I cannot say for certain, as there are many different types of metals. I don't use chemicals or anything like that, it's just a basic tutorial to keep it clean.
Thank you, this video was really helpful!

me gusta mucho muy bien! interesante
I sometimes use a silicone impregnated cloth to wipe down my brass whistles. It keeps them from getting oxidized.
I use brasso to clean my brass and nickle tin whistle and with a clarinet cleaning brush to do the inside
You can buy a rifle cleaning rod the same size with the slit in the end that unscrews in order to be compact
do a cleaning a wooden tin whistle video
+Sergio Nekrasov I would! Unfortunately, I don't own one. I own a wooden recorder, though. Sorry!
Gracias por los subtítulos en español :)
Con gusto!
How often should i clean my whistle?
It depends on how much you play it, really. But I'd say as soon as you hear slight changes in the sound.
I have a flute brush that I use to clean the tube every time I play. I also wipe the outside of the tube with a soft cloth.
My whistle is metalic, can I use these methos as well? And what about water?
