Cleaning Brushes

Post by CraigTbone »

As I mentioned in my recent water temperature topic I switched to tuba in my church brass ensemble because our 80+ year old tubist could not manage the weight of his tuba any more.

For cleaning the tuba I have several trombone brush snakes that work for some of the smaller tuba tubing. Are there any cleaning systems / brushes / snakes / etc. that are especially effective or well made or other quality that would be recommended?

This set includes a double-ended valve casing brush. The slide brush in this set also works well to clean the inside of large bore tenor and bass trombone slides - will pass through the inner slides, the entire outer slide (in a single pass), and the bell section. Both brushes are gentle - will not scrape off encrusted debris.
