I just bought an old martin and after playing yesterday I still have a weird "brassy" aftertaste in my mouth and my throat's a little sore. It was chemically cleaned before I bought it, but there is a little crud still on the inside of the leadpipe. I'm not sure if it's just some leftover chemicals from the cleaning that I need to rinse out or something else.... should I be worried that my mouth still feels a little weird 24 hours after last playing the horn?

i'm concerned that it may be red rot in the lead pipe. luckily thats the only place there's anything like that on the horn. is that dangerous? I'm planing on getting the pipe replaced eventually-red rot or not, it's banged up a bit, but would that possibly be a health hazard i should take care of now?
