Nikki: NOT a wire brush please:  a baby's bottle brush
might do - check what the bristles are like or some
music shops have special bristle brushes on sort of
flexible spiral wire "curtain hanger".  These may be
offered for French horns so a bit narrow for the
bigger instruments.

Otherwise a pull through with soft rag tied carefully
on the end ask anyone who was in the army . . .  Use a
small weight on the other end to get it thro'

Yes I forgot the slide grease, v important, vaseline
is just as good.

And don't forget around water drain corks and check
the cork: the whole fitting is usually quite easy to
get off but don't lose the small screw . . . .
