The Brass And Woodwind Sterilization Process

By Jody Leach


In order to play a wind instrument, one would have to blow into the instrument using his mouth all the time. However, the thing about wind instruments is that they may build up bacteria which would make them quite harmful for one to blow. It is for this reason that this type of instrument would need regular brass and woodwind sterilization.

Now one has to remember that the only part that he would need to concentrate on would be the mouthpiece. Now the mouthpiece has to be cleaned regularly because this is the part where in one would be putting his mouth. Now to do the job, here is a list of some of the things he will need and the steps he will need to take to complete the job.

So there are pretty much just four things that one would need to get when he is going to do the job. Now the first thing he would need would be a bottle of any type of alcohol along with a cup that is filled with hot water. Now he will also be needing a special mouthpiece disinfectant solution that can be bought at pretty much any music store.

Now after he has gathered all the necessary materials, then he will now need to put some disinfected on the mouthpiece. Now the thing about the disinfectant is that it will clean up all the dirt that can be found on that part. It is made out of a special solution that would actually take away any dirt or other kind of substance out.

The second step in the process would be to then pour some alcohol on to the mouthpiece. Now the alcohol is there for the sole purpose of killing all the bacteria and the germs that cannot be seen. So one should first pour some alcohol on that part and use a clean cloth to wipe it a little bit so the the alcohol will be able to spread around.

After one has already done that, then the next thing that he should do would be to get the glass of hot water. Now after he has gotten the glass of hot water, he should put just a little bit of soap inside. Once he has mixed the soap with the hot water, then he should soak the mouthpiece in there for a few minutes.

Once this step has already been done, then all one has to do would be to rinse off the soap. One has to thoroughly rinse the instrument after all of those steps have been finished so that he will not put alcohol, disinfectant, or soap in his mouth. After rinsing it, then all he has to do is wipe it a little, and then he can play it again.

So for those who would play these kinds of instruments, here are some ways to clean it. Now the cleaning part is extremely important because one will be making sure that no bacteria will grow there. Of course by doing this, one will lessen his chances of getting illnesses after he would play.
