Extra care is given to wind instruments simply because you use your mouth to play. Touching the mouthpiece with your lips means you should not let others play unless they bring their own, although, that is unlikely to happen. It is a personal instrument to prevent disease/virus from spreading, to or from, you.
Cleaning it regularly is another way to care for your instrument. Play with it regularly to prevent unnecessary collection of grime. Use trumpet valve oil when needed to avoid discoloration and rust buildup. Also, make sure you have the proper case to store your instrument. Giving proper care makes your instrument last longer.

I am a full-time home-based Marketing Manager by day, 24/7 Mom, and a Blogger/Content Creator in my spare time. Proud mom to 2 girls and 1 boy, Derelle, Erchelle, and Elric.
I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.
Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.
From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.
A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
