Brass instrument mouthpiece

Yes
Check first
No

Often works well – but mouthpieces are usually silver-plated or gold-plated.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Is the plating intact?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Only if the plating is intact. Rinse and dry.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Mouthpieces are brass with silver or gold plating. Manuals warn that ultrasound can open up gaps in plating, and no instrument maker specifies the method.

Watch out for

  • Worn or flaking plating: avoid
  • Plastic mouthpieces: lukewarm water
