Don't do the silica thing if you value your horn. Those things do suck out all of the moisture - leaving the grunge in your horn rock hard (even in the valves). We keep the horn in the case so that it DOES not dry out. That keeps the small particles of food and other contaminants "flushable"! Remove the water and you have a much harder job with the inside of your horn. The horn also blows more freely when it is moist inside!
