Ultrasonic Cleaning!
Ultrasonic cleaning is an innovative method of cleaning brass and non-wood musical instruments through the use of high frequency sound waves and a biodegradable, environmentally friendly cleaning solution. This state-of-the-art method cleans objects through the introduction of sound waves into a tank of mild cleaning solution, which penetrates the instrument to clean the interior as well as the exterior. Transducers mounted in the tank create tiny bubbles, which clean and scrub the entire instrument in a safer, more thorough manner than traditional mechanical or chemical cleaning methods.
We've recently installed a 90-gallon ultrasonic cleaner to safely and gently clean your instrument more effectively than ever before. The tank is large enough to dip a full size tuba or sousaphone. While it does an amazing job cleaning large instruments, it does an equally amazing job cleaning the mechanisms on the most delicate of instruments. |
