Where to get a good snake?
When I was cleaning out my horn earlier this week, the snake that I was using had one of the brushes break off in the horn (luckily it was where I could easily get it out). The wire had rusted and the brush just broke off. It was one of those from Yamaha low brass maintenance kits. I would like one with a bit stiffer bristles as the Yamaha was very soft and it didn't feel like it was really cleaning the insides very well. Where can I get a good quality snake with good, stiff brushes on both ends? The Yamaha was found at my local music store as I didn't find anything at a hardware store. Thanks for your input.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

+1. I use these as well. The bristles aren't stiff, but there are a lot of 'em!58mark wrote:I really like these

Got a red belly black in the garden, if you can get him before he gets you.

NO POLITICS!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
