- Hello
Actually, it is not easy to give advice on the maintenance of wind instruments.
It is once again necessary to be rigorous in the maintenance as every type of material to avoid any wet stagnation:
Clean the instrument immediately after use,
Dry it and put it then in a clean case
For a trumpet, the mouthpiece need to be washed and to be dried after every use
Let dry the body or wipe with a clean dry cloth in the tube
I also recommend to maintain and to dismantle regularly the whole trumpet

Thank you for inviting me in the first concert of this trumpeter!
Cordially
