    Worked like a DREAM! I use a C Star Vandoran mouthpiece and was having tone and spit sounding issues so I believe it was the buildup blocking and catching my spit, so this helps clear up my neck and mouthpiece!

    The smell is totally worth it after the mouthpiece comes so clean

    If there is still calcium would leaving it in longer help? I did the ten minutes and there’s still a decent amount. I don’t doubt the process, just curious about the times

    Just being curious can we actually clean it with lemon juice?

    Nice video. Btw how about hot-medium water for metal mouthpiece?

    • @ScottCampbellSaxophone
      @ScottCampbellSaxophone  4 роки тому +1

      For metal mouthpieces warm water is okay, HOWEVER, if there is a hard rubber bite plate, it could give it the dark green hue also.

    Would this work for brass instruments like a trombone?

    • @ScottCampbellSaxophone
      @ScottCampbellSaxophone  2 роки тому

      I do not know. If there is calcium build up on trombone or trumpet mouthpieces, then is likely would.

    Does this work with metal mouth pieces?

    • @ScottCampbellSaxophone
      @ScottCampbellSaxophone  5 років тому +2

      Anthony Hoang yes, it does. It is equally effective on metal mouthpieces.

      @@ScottCampbellSaxophone Just cleaned 3 plastic and a metal tenor mouth piece. All of them are way cleaner than just using soap and water. I used lemon juice and it worked perfectly. Barely if not 0 decolour and just a quick rinse after to get rid of any stickiness and it's perfect! Thanks for the video!!!

    Why can’t you just use water? That’s what I usally do

    • @ScottCampbellSaxophone
      @ScottCampbellSaxophone  6 років тому +2

      Because water will not remove hard calcium build up. The acid in vinegar is needed to soften the calcium.
