Alto Saxophone Maintenance: 2 Tips for Sax Players

Some people are asking me about what I do to keep my saxophone clean.

Watch this video on KB Sax Lessons my YouTube Channel to see how I keep my saxophone in perfect condition!

The first thing I do is take my Alto Saxophone neck swab and run it through the neck of my horn.

The second thing I do is I have a swab for my horn that I just run through once, however, I don't let it sit in there overnight, otherwise, it could potentially build up mold. So, I recommend running it through once and you're done and ready to put it back in the case until the next time you practice!

If you're interested in these supplies, go ahead and check them out here in the links below. If you purchase them, it helps run this website.

Thanks!
