Question:
What's the best solution to use for cleaning piccolos?
I just bought a piccolo, and I want to keep it in the best condition. So what kind of solution (homemade or manufactured) would you recommend to use?
Answers:
To expand on RetroDragon Fly - a silver polishing cloth for the exterior and a soft absorbant cloth for the inside. I too have a piccolo and a flute, have played for about 20 years now and that is how I have always cleaned them.
If you choose, you can buy a Flute or Piccolo swab from a music store or on line to clean the interior. They run anywhere from 3 to 7 dollars.
