Wow! Thanks for the great answers. I'll save them to a file and will put off _trumpet_ bathing for the present. I usually play everyday, but I always brush my teeth, blow out the spit valves and take off the slides and blow through the trumpet when I'm done, then rub it down with a cloth before putting it away.

"Besides, after you take it apart you have to re-tune it."

Re-tune? What's that? You forget, I'm a guitarist.
