Re: Leadpipe Crud

A chemical cleaning can probably remove what you see without too much "mechanical" work. Your repair tech will tell you if the leadpipe is on its last leg. If that is the case, the tuning slide should also be checked out with a mirror or video camera.
It may be time to review the time between cleaning periods. Have you had this problem with other horns? If so it may even be a diet or stomach acid issue.
