WARNING: Do this at your own risk. Letting an instrument sit in distilled vinegar for long periods of time can result in loose soldering. So do with caution.
hi sir, what's the harm to the saxophone compared between vinegar and those chemicals? I've heard from a sax Luthier on RU-vid that the chemicals thin and therefore weakens the metal specially in the circles the pads touch (Sorry for the crap description) does this happens also with the vinegar? thanks for the information sir
The only thing I've seen as far as harming the instrument was the pearls on the saxophone broke down. And some joints looked to lose a bit of soldering, but nothing that was too bad.
