Trumpet???

I need to clean my silver bach trumpet. ant suggestions on what to use (i.e. cleaning supplies, polishers)?? Also would it be okay if i sprayed some windex on a cloth and wiped down my trumpet????

Trumpet???
Bach makes a great trumpet. I hope your a good player. With a silver finish you want to make sure you do not use any abrasives to clean(polish) the horn. I would go to a jeweler or any store that sells jewelry and purchase a "JEWELERS CLOTH". It easy on the finish of the horn and will make it pop. For cleaning the inside, a mild dish washing soap will suffice. If you do not have a "brush", go to a music store a buy one. They're flexible and non-abrasive and can get in all the nooks and crannies .I started playing trombone 58 years ago,still have my very first one and although it's a student model, it still looks and plays great.
Reply:you can clean it the same way you clean laquered instruments.


do not use windex! i have a bach and asked an instrument specialist, he said no!


a jewelers cloth would be good but you can just go to a music store and try something called "blitz metal care" buy the one that says metal care, not gloss care. i used that and my trumpet looks like new every time.


if you can't trust me, just take it for a professional cleaning and waste $90 instead of $6 for the cloth





hope i was of much help!
