Ongoing Instrument Maintenance and Care

The links below will take you to products we like:

Woodwinds

• All woodwinds need a swab! (Any SILK swab that fits your instrument is fine) Do not use non-silk swabs or feather duster style swabs.

• Clarinet, saxes, and oboes need cork grease (Any of these are fine. Look for lanolin in the ingredients or Yamaha has a good synthetic.)

Brass

• All brass instruments need oils and greases

  • Trumpet, Euphonium Valve Oil

  • French Horn, Trombone, Tuba Rotor Oil

  • Trombone main slide

  • All brass tuning slides
