Ultrasonic Cleaning for Band Instruments
Several years ago, we invested in an Omegasonics Music Pro Plus ultrasonic cleaner, and it was one of the best investments we have ever made. Instead of using harsh chemicals and solvents to clean band instruments, we use an environmentally friendly and very thorough ultrasonic cleaner whenever possible. Thorough cleaning is the first step in sanitization and will also help keep your horn in great working order for years to come, saving on routine maintenance issues.
