RUclips: How to clean a brass instrument-
Me: meh
RUclips: -With balloons
Me: I’m intrigued
Alexis Fowler me
Alexis Fowler literally the EXACT same thing I said💀
me too and then, meh.
Sounds like me Alexis. Me2. I'd like to see him clean it with 2lb of raw hamburger though.
Best demo online
I’m a flute player, but I used to be apart of an honor society that did a brass instrument clean out every year.
For elementary schools.
We would work through eight different schools with about...ten to fifteen instruments each. We could start around 2:30 PM, and finish around 5-6 PM, depending on how many workers we had that year. (My first year there were only four of us, and our director.)
I was meticulous about how I cleaned the ones that passed by me, but...the things we found in those instrument.
I found a lego figure in a euphonium. Practically everything was black in them.
My director was confused when he couldn’t get water out of the bell of a tuba. He reached in, and we all heard something crunch.
He pulled out an entire sandwich in a ziplock bag. He just started at us with the most done expression while we all cracked up.
Ahhh good times.
kAK A SANDWICH! OMG I JUST DIED
Aye flute gang
kAK the heck a samich
Did anyone else click on the blue text?
Son of Minerva do you not know what it was?
i polished my instrument so much i cant see it anymore
hold up what does this bottle say

Bro I've taken acid too, that shit wild
@@catalinad6982 what? She meant a acid chemical. If you are taking acid good luck lol.
Reece Yee hmm yes it appears the joke has wings and flew over your head

I'm a bassist and in no way does this video pertain to me, but watching your meticulous work and passion for your instrument is just delightful! Good job!
Thanks for the kind words!
Martin Holde Same im a percussionist but still... shiny
Martin Holde Same I play the flute but I clicked on the video because I thought he would play it with all the balloons on it!
Martin Holde Yould you help me? I've put an giant ballon over my bass and tried to clean it then. Didn't worked.
Edit:
Wait a second, I use an digital Bass from FL Studios. Now my PC is full of liquid nooo
I am a bassist and Tubist😉😉😉!!!
Tried this on my piano..... didn't work.
***** yeah..... I found that out the hard way. Do you know how hard it was to find a bath big enough to submerge it?
It was a joke!!!
fuddle128260394 chuck it in a pool
Try hitting it with a crowbar

That’s a sexy euphonium
OMG last year when I stared playing the baritone a girl in the year above me said that my Baritone is sexy and it was so funny! 😂
I think it's a baritone- it looks like a euph but he calls it his "horn"
T is really way to big for an alt horn
Untold Truths It’s a besson prestige
Euphonium.
@@untoldtruths9316 All instruments are considered horns bud
try to tell this to highschool students
I am a high school student and have one of those silver marching baritones
Sloan V too late.
Яight Aиd Wгоиg I'm too paranoid to clean my silver marching baritone
SilentStorm7 I might hurt it
no need, i am a high school student that used to play a tuba
Euphonium is by far the most underrated instrument
Keith Fletcher I play the tuba, baritone, trombone, and violin and i agree that the euphonium is indeed underrated.
Yeah it’s pretty sad 😢
except by those of us who play it
what other non-tuba brass can join in Tuba Christmas?
Mighty fine euphonium you have there! 😁
yes that is a euphonium
It's a nice Besson Pristege. Probably about $14K

must be nice. 👌
I don't even play an instrument but for some reason this video has my full attention the whole time while I was watching it
Jacob King what lmao
same
Jacob King get ahta here
Same here
I play woodwind not brass and same....
I came for the comments that say:
"Why am I here? I don't even play an instrument! Lol 😂😂😂"
I taught public school instrumental music for 36 years and I am a brass player. I recommend this video to all band directors as well as all brass players. There is a lot to learn here. This video should be shown to all instrumental music teachers!
0:40 “I like to line up my valves in order.”
Hi, I’m a slide trombone player.
*slide in order
My sax doesn't work anymore.
JBurgs03 Exact!!! nobody can see it?
Its WOODWIND
r/woooosh
Sweetie, this is for brass instruments. We have more complicated parts of our instrument like pads and more buttons. Please never give your instrument a bath like a brass player would
emma L. ...I rinsed my flute a couple of times in the sink and it still is fine although it could have just been because I wasn’t thorough enough.
Ahhh....a clean horn is a happy horn :^)
:o) HoNk
Daniel Ibata
Omg XD
:o) HoNk
seraphim i think my horn has a meh expression because its not all the way clean
Daniel Ibata wrong type of horns gamzee duo
I'm a Woodwind, RUclips. This will destroy my instrument.
Paranoid Synthesizer saame
brass
Suzuki Kekirito woodwinds are terrible
Lance Stewart Fan here! 😂😂
Lance Stewart Fan here! Okay but listen. Double Reeds
I'd refrain from using Brasso on slides as it is an abrasive polishing compound. Try using a degreaser like purple power. It'll remove all that old oil and grease without messing with the metal . . . well, unless you don't rinse thoroughly. The balloon tip was cool; very clever! All in all, a very cool video, man. I feel like cleaning horns is such a foreign concept to a lot of music students, and it's refreshing to see something like this.
k3w1k47 valve oil is a great degreaser
This has no use to me because I play violin. But now I know how to clean a horn or whatever that is.👍
Thats a baritone also i want to play violin i play cello
It's also a FRENCH HORN
+Gentle Cabbage

+xXBlack_OceanXx
Thats a Euphonium. A girl in my middle school band plays it.
@@xxblack_oceanxx A french horn is the circular instrument, that is a baritone or technically, it is a Euphonium
@Joshua Rogers
It just annoys me that people say horn all the time when it's a euph or trumpet or whatever, when the nickname for the f horn is the horn (which I play, btw)
Why is this so satisfying to watch?
I'm scared that i might break my tuba.... and my tub.
Colinz2 Gamming I have old schooled tuba from 1970's from holton it's the first tuba they bought from my school
Same lol
*NOTICE: THIS DOES NOT WORK ON FLUTES. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID*
Flute is woodwind he said BRASS
@@randomperson4254 i know, geesus. I thought that maybe a similar method would work. It didn't.
@@RtsShrtFrRtthw Well just getting my point across
@@RtsShrtFrRtthw Btw what happened to your flute?
@@randomperson4254 The little pads under the keys fell off, and the peices wouldn't go together right. I tried to use just the mouthpeice, but it didn't make any noise
Thanks I cleaned my 12 year old trombone that was really dirty
TheDerpNinja trombones are hard on fast songs I play trombone so
TheDerpNinja I play trombone too
+Blobfish Forlife ehhh,trombone isn't that hard but, I struggle with 16 notes idk why that's the only hard part for me ...
TheDerpNinja I SHOULD DO THIS! I play the tuba which would be EXTREMELY time consuming but I own my dad's old pea-shooter (basic trombone) that hasn't been cleaned in almost 35 years
Nick Stygles yes but do NOT use brasso on lacquered brass. It will strip it all off
Thanks for sharing this! I'm a new band teacher and I played percussion/piano all through HS and college. Never really understood why people were interested in other instruments but you made your horn look so good lol XD
Where's my euphonium fam at?
ShowingSummer dying
Surviving and beautiful
Here
Another one bites the dust but Euphonium survives
Euphonium gang gang
Me a saxophonist: oh let me watch this for the fifth time
note to self to NOT use brass polish on valves (made that boo boo with my trumpet and ruined the valves and casing)
What drum corps did you march?
yeah i wanna know this also!
Silly Puffin same
FTC fuck the cadets go cavs, 2017 is their year
SuperFrog 7878 haha
SuperFrog 7878 whoops wasn't their year ): I loved their show tho
Why'd I watch this. I'm a percussionist. Great video though. I'll be sure to boost it to my fellow marching band members

'When my horn starts to look and feel dirty....'
Thought that I'd accidentally stumbled into a less salubrious corner of RUclips!
Imagine having to go through a day's long process just to clean your instrument
Imagine imagining
Beastly_ Trolls imagine imagining about imagining
This message brought to you by strings gang.
instructions unclear: trombone
Also they would include a valve casing brush so that you could brush the valve cases so that would be a big plus
Me: *yeets all of this at my friend who plays a tuba* haha I play a flute.... there’s nothing more cliche than seeing flute players polishing their flutes on a water break
i’m a clarinet player and i’ve never seen anything more satisfying
Did- did he sacrifice a T-shirt for the purpose of this video? Dedication right there.
"When my horn starts to look and feel dirty it changes the way I feel about playing it." 🤣🤣🤣
There is one concern I have:
Won’t the padding start to mold? Since it was SOAKED IN WATER?
Don't soak them, or per his personal advice, you could put them in a cup that's filled to a level lower than the pads
@@braveheart1320 or you could take the felts off???
I played an Tenor Trombone in Jr high and high school. Our teacher told us about soaking in a bath tub. It worked great. Then I bought a step up baritone trombone and it was stolen. I am still praying and trying to find it and get it back, In really miss my large bore 'bone. Pray for me that it will be found and returned to me.
Thanks...
Hope you find it
First, why is this in my recommended list.
Second, why did I watch the whole thing 😂 I don’t even play any brass instrument 😂
When you said snake I went to get my brother
Lol!
Will this work on clarinet?
Wood oil will work with a clean rag and a light hand
No
Yes
No the corks will pop off because of the water
No but if u soak it in some jizz instead of water u will be good
Instructions unclear my flute now has a horn
You’re Baritone looks better than my trombone even when you’re baritone is dirty.
Euphonium
I play trombone so how would this work with the slide
Those soaking periods are way over the top. I simply use my brush and some warm soapy water, then rinse throughly under the tap. It’s all done well in a couple of minutes. Hint: use a slightly heavier oil on the threads, just a drop will do. That will prevent sticking the next time you go to unscrew the caps.
Instructions unclear, got a garden snake stuck in my violin
As a violinist, this is very helpful, I'm now going to submerge my violin in a tub of water
Instructions unclear:
I took a snake out of my backyard shoved in my tuba and drowned/submerged it in water
Conclusion:
Dead snake in my tuba
instructions unclear
*violin gave birth to double bass*
Im glad us percussionists dont have to do this
Cameron McGehee well you do have to Polish the cymbals and timpani...
Cameron McGehee very much
Brasso is abrasive. Eventually you will remove enough metal that the slide will not stay in place. This will mean that your instrument will not stay in place. Use dry cleaning fluid to clean the slides. Once you have polished the instrument, go over it with a silicone based polish. This will slow down the development of tarnish on silver plate instruments and make water and spittle stains easier to remove on silver, brass and lacquered instruments.
My section uses some of this stuff to clean our good sousaphones and it takes a long time but it’s so good in the end because it’s literally a mirror and we’ve had them for over 5 years now and they still look new.
I definitely can't do any of this with my clarinet and I probaby can't dip my saxophone in a bathtub, but I wonder if any of this can be applied to a saxophone since much of the instrument is made of metal.
By taking all of the slides out, this really helps drain all the spit from the Horn, & it becomes really pronounced on a French Horn cause it's circular.
Yo I play tuba in 6 grade band
Oh wait no one cares
Big mood
In my 8th grade band theirs 6 flutes 3 clarinets, 18 Altos, 2 bari saxes 2 tenors, 2 bass clarinets 1 oboe, 3 trombones 2 French horns 2 tubas(WITCH REIGN SOPIRIOR, and its me) and for some reason 22 trumpits
Yo I play cello in 6th grade orchestra
@The Creasx
Y u no have french horn
@@benhensley8484 how'd you know the exact numbers of all of them?😂
Generally speaking the Valves would be labeled w/ Numbers so that you'd be able to place them in the water.
Listen, in play wood winds so when you stuck that in the bath I FREAKED
Another good substitute for a tshirt to polish is cotton flannel. You can pick up a roll of it from any fabric or crafts store.
Me: Oooh! That looks useful! *clicks on video*
Also me: *plays the flute*
Same but I also play trumpet
@@theresachacon1122
Does this work on the trumpet?
@@TJ-oo5mx it should because a trumpet is a brass instrument
@@TJ-oo5mx It wont because a trumpet is in fact a string instrument which you dont want to get wet
I don’t even have an instrument but I ended up watching this whole thing because the narrator is just that good I want him to narrate more things
MY JAW DROPPED WATCHING THIS
A 4 Valve Euphonium. Hetman makes good Tuning Slide Oil.
Idk why but this is so stress relieving
If only a clarinet could be cleaned like this It would be very satisfying every time i clean it.
This vid is honestly so satisfying
*me: never owned a brass instrument or plan to in my life*
*also me : watches a detailed video on how to clean it*
Luke , your instructions are clear to me, but what a rigorous process. Will try it on my my favorite slide trombone (Bach Strad. Model 6)and King upright valve trombone and let you know my results.
I've watched this at least 10 times...
I play Flute lol
I don’t even play brass, I play upright bass, why am I here😂
as a double bassist, i will be using this soon, thank you :)
the shape of my bell is different
Sincerely,
a percussionist
_ Dad i wanna learn and play tuba !
_ Sorry we only have a shower !
Can that brasso be used on the barrel of a flute, because my flute's barrel is getting metal on it from inside of the barrel when put together and taken apart.
I have a raw brass horn, which is decades older than I am, that I’m having trouble playing, and I suspect that it’s because it hasn’t had a thorough cleaning in a while. Is it ok to submerge raw brass in water?
I had to watch this about 10 times to be able to find out that this was a euphonium
will this work if you instrument is very tarnished in a couple places????
You can also clean your saxophone similarly, which is technically a brass instrument.
me, on the drumline: i see this as useful
Hello, do I want to clean my trombone that water use hot or cold?
Lukewarm
i play the flute and i was wondering, could you could polish a flute the same way you polished the instrument in the video? (not including cleaning)
How does haggerties compare to wrights silver cream? I use it and it makes my horn look new every time
I'm with you I play clarinet to and on the valves the pads are wet the instrument can get damaged by that
I picked up a lot of my own cleaning techniques from Drum corps too! I marched Music City last season and have been using a very similar cleaning style
Only real difference is that I use Wrights silver polish for my horn. I've been looking for an answer on Can I use Wrights silver polish on a brass horn? I'm assuming that, while it might not be the best, it wont damage the horn but I would love to know.
also while I'm here, What drum corps did you march, and when?
Dizzy cleaned his horn before every gig!
Man.. I left my euph sitting in its case for 2.5 years without cleaning it. Should this process work for a horn that's especially crusty? Are there different products i should buy?
You have an absolutely beautiful euphonium.
literally a cellist but i’m enjoying
LITERALLY
Please notice it's a brass instrument... a kid did this with a wooden Clarinet at our community music school once...yea the tub wasn't his brightest idea
Has a trombone, will still use balloons
Can you just put the slides back in before using the spray polish thus eliminating the need for the balloons and also polishing the shiny outer part of the slides?
Yep! You can do that. It still might get in the cracks a little bit, but it's not a huge deal.
Would this work with a three valve tuba and i have no bath tub so it might be a hard but this is still helpful
What model of euphonium is that? I am looking to buy a better one, what would you recommend?
here i am watching this while knowing that i have no bath tub
Why the fuck am I here? I don’t even own any instruments, but somehow I still enjoyed it?
