How To Clean Woodwinds - Clarinet, Flute & Saxophone

This video shows you how to clean your woodwind instrument with just a few tools. You should do this at least annually. The end of each school year is a good time to do it so that your clarinet, flute, or saxophone is nice and clean for the summer and for the new school year.

[@selena_fan522]

Is this also for bass clarinet too? Because I honestly don't know how to clean mine at all

[@StepWiseMusicEd]

Yes - same idea, but that has about 4 times the surface area compared to a regular clarinet, so it will take longer. :-)

[@christinetom6594]

Ho often do should I do this?

[@supergoodusername4635]

Just Whenever it gets dirty, probably shortly before performances, or every couple months or month or whenever depending on how dirty it normally gets.
