Final check

- 02Rotary valves need their own oil routine beyond brush cleaning
- 03Be gentle with snakes in horn tubing; forcing them can dent thin wraps
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on a double horn?
Yes. Single and double horns use the same tubing sizes, so the tools reach the same slides and leadpipe on both.
02Can I use my trumpet cleaning kit instead?
Not well. French horn tubing is longer and narrower, so trumpet snakes and brushes will not reach through it properly.
03How often should I clean a French horn?
Wipe down after playing, rinse the mouthpiece weekly, and do a full tubing cleaning every few months based on playing time.
04Does this oil the rotors?
Check the contents. Rotary valves need dedicated rotor and bearing oil applied regularly, which is separate from brush cleaning.
