| Re: cleaning valve casings "WHOA NELLIE!!!" Is right! What gave you guys the idea that I was using STEEL WOOL to clean any internal parts of my horn? I'm not that stupid! Although, the finest steel wool gives a nice look to those lacqure deficient ebay horns. The wool mop I speak of is quite soft, check it out. Never-the-less, I'm going to get me a new chamois cloth and explore it's benefits. Youngsters, don't go steel wooling your trumpet unless your daddy approves.............crow |
