How To Clean Any Saxophone!

Just a quick walk through on cleaning your saxophone at home (not in the sink or dishwasher...)! It's nice and easy, and will help protect your lacquer and keep it looking like new. If you have a silver (or gold?!) instrument, check out the polishing cloth below!

I also mentioned in the video the importance of seeing a qualified repair tech a few times each year. Here are a few I have loved working with, and would highly recommend:

Did you spot one of "My Favorite Things", from my last video?!

[@jbargermusic]

Great tips and cinematic work! Thank you for the opening disclaimer - it brought my heart rate back down 😂

[@StephenPageSax]

Hahah! Sorry to cause some tachycardia!

[@actrue9712]

Dang I should’ve watched more of the video. Ran my sax through the dishwasher 😜

[@michaelharvey5138]

First couple of minutes doubled my heart rate !! …but after that a good informative video…

[@elbotysax]

[@elliott.soprano]

[@iwantjareddudley7043]

Does any know how to cleaning the bell of the saxophone?

[@edwingarcia-hernandez3728]

Thanks!

[@StephenPageSax]

Thank you for checking it out!

[@patriciadrank6543]

I have adhesive on my bell. What can I use to get it off?

[@latinkeys1]

I think you should use a rag and oil, WD 40 may just do the trick, won’t damage the laquer

[@johnfilardi]

I have an Unlacquered saxophone with a lot of dried condensation that is turned green

[@LucaszJazz]

Its just patina. Most people leave it as “personality”. You could spot treat with lemon juice on a q-tip if you wanr

[@johnfilardi]

@@LucaszJazz its on the springs

[@user-ws9xy8fo3o]

😂😂😂put my saxophone in laundry

[@TheBeardedSandman]

HOLD UP... you can put your sax in the DISHWASHER???
Edit: nvm...

[@BeachBoi1000]

I wanna know how to clean the inside… because of saliva

[@imustbeames3727]

I guess I should stop using lemon juice and toilet bowl gel

[@dylancorturillo1196]

Thank you so much, my saxophone smells like clean sheets from the pledge

[@tobiasodem285]

[@carterw70]
