Cleaning and care of saxophones

In order to enjoy your saxophone for as long as possible, it is recommended that you clean the instrument regularly and have it checked by a professional from time to time.

To clean it, it is best to disassemble your saxophone after each playing session . The best way to remove residual moisture that accumulates inside the instrument is to use special wipers for the mouthpiece, body and saxophone neck . To do this, simply pull the corresponding wipers through the mouthpiece, body and saxophone neck several times.

This is going like clockwork

In order to get the mouthpiece a little more smoothly onto the cork coating on the saxophone neck and thus protect it, it is recommended to use a cork grease if necessary.

What can I do about dirty pad ?

The deposits on the upholstery that lead to unwanted “smacking” are best removed regularly using so-called cleaning paper. To do this, simply place the paper between the key and the tone hole and close the key several times. These simple cleaning instructions greatly extend the longevity of the saxophone. You can find a selection of pull-through wipers, cork grease and cleaning paper here.
