Leave the corrosion and play on it and it will most likely "break through" at some gig where you have NO plan B. I think it's best to find out now and get the problem solved - if there is one.

I have been in Germany since 1974. What is CLR?

I will not let any of my horns be cleaned with ultrasound. Chem cleaning works just fine and that takes no chance of something changing for the worse. Pharmaceutical equipment, jewelry and automotive parts do not have defined resonant behaviour. You can ultrasound the he!! out of them without hearing the difference. Solder joints are not my concern. The resonant behaviour of the horn is. The difference between 2 like horns is microscopic, yet there is a hearable difference! I believe resonant behaviour is the major difference.
