Infact, our workshop recommends our clients to regularly wash their instruments at home if they are able to. This can be easily done at home and does not constitute as a service. Strangely there are workshops who offer low-brass servicing and do not have the facility to chemically clean a tuba, but instead wash them out in a bathtub with soap. When the instrument is filled with tank solution, it becomes incredibly difficult to handle as it probably brings the weight up to 40kg. These instruments are some of the largest tubas around. Seen below is a 6/4 Hirsbrunner Tuba in our 450L ultrasonic tank. Our full sized ultrasonic tank comfortably handles 6/4 tubas and sousaphones.
