How To Do A 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 one does not actually need to sterilize the entire thing as it will not really be necessary. The part that he would really need to clean up regularly would actually be the mouthpiece because this is where one will be placing his mouth. So the very first step would be to gather some things for the job.

Now basically, one would just need a few materials in order to get the job done. Now one would just need one bottle of rubbing alcohol, some specially made disinfectant, a clean cloth, and a cup that has some hot water inside. Now if one would want to know how to get the disinfectant, then he would just need to check his local music store.

So the first part of the process would be to actually spray some of the disinfectant on a clean cloth. From there, he would have to use the cloth to wipe the mouthpiece all around and make sure that the disinfectant would reach all places. Of course he should also make sure that the disinfectant would even reach the inside.

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.

Now from there, one would now have to get the cup of hot water and get himself a bar of soap. He now has to put a little bit of the soap inside the water and mix them all together. Once he has already mixed the two substances together, then he now has to soak the mouthpiece in there for a few minutes maybe around ten.

After the fifteen minutes are already up, then one has to now rinse the soap off the instrument. Now he has to make sure to rinse it properly otherwise there will still be a lot of substances that would be left behind from all the cleaning. After he has already done the rinsing, then he may now wipe the water off and keep it.

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.
