The Process Of Brass And Woodwind Sterilization

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 when one would want to clean this thing, he would have to take note that not every part has to be cleaned. He only needs to clean one part of the instrument and that part would be the mouthpiece because this is where one would blow. Of course to do this, he will be needing the necessary materials.

Basically, there are pretty much only four things that one would be needing for this type of job. These four things are a bottle of alcohol, a special mouthpiece disinfectant, a clean cloth, and of course a cup filled with hot water. Now for the mouthpiece disinfectant, usually music stores would be selling them just in case one would need a bottle.

Now the first step that one would need to do would be to disinfect the part wherein one would put his mouth in. This is where the special disinfectant would come in as it would specially clean the mouthpiece after it was used by the owner. So one should never forget to buy himself a bottle if he plays this kind of instrument.

The next thing that one has to do would be to douse that part with some alcohol. Now it is very important that one would do this because he has to kill all the bacteria that is there. To do this, it is better to douse the clean cloth with some alcohol and wipe the mouthpiece so that it can thoroughly kill the bacteria and the germs that are there.

Now after that, one has to now get that glass that is filled with hot water and get some soap. After he has done this, then he should make sure that he would put a little bit of soap inside. After he does that, he should mix the soap and let the mouthpiece soak in there for a few minutes probably around fifteen.

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 basically, those are the steps that one should take if he would want to clean his wind instrument. Now he has to do this regularly if he would want to keep it clean from any harmful germs or bacteria. He should probably do this around once or twice a week depending on how often he would play his instrument.
