Blow Dry Brass
One of the greatest products I've seen in a long time... this WORKS!
Here's a recent (11/20/20) review!
Made for musicians by a musician
Everything needed to maintain a clean, pristine instrument & mouthpiece daily resides in this small pouch that easily fits into a gig bag for on the road and everyday practice sessions.
New & Revolutionary
This is NOT a cleaning product, but a drying product to be used on a clean horn once a day after your last session.
BlowDry Brass dries out a CLEAN instrument & mouthpiece after use, thus KEEPING them CLEAN. This maintenance system eliminates the need to continually bathe your instrument, or use traditional brass cleaning products. Works for most small & medium bore instruments & associated mouthpieces (kit good for about 1 year).
How BlowDry Brass works
The isopropyl alcohol drench of the loaded foam BIT causes it to expand to approximately twice its size. This greatly enhances its pliability to move through the horn & to absorb moisture. Moisture left in the throat & backbore of a mouthpiece after use is wicked out by the cotton filled ramrod.
Use BlowDry Brass once you have cleaned your horn.
Using BlowDry Brass on a clean horn after playing removes nearly all of the moisture in the tubing & piston ports, thus eliminating the conditions that cause a horn to get dirty. This also eliminates the “Petri dish” environment that an unmaintained horn creates, which allows mold & bacteria build up in your horn. BlowDry Brass maintains a “healthy” horn (Brass Instruments Can Cause Lung Disease & Kids’ musical instruments booming with bacteria)
BlowDry Brass was developed by a brass player for brass players.
Enjoy the benefits of playing a clean horn everyday . BlowDry Brass keeps your equipment performing to factory specifications.

A great product and a great way to keep your horn clean
If you’re anything like me, you can’t stand to look down a dirty leadpipe. Cleaning your horn after every use is great habit to have and this kit makes it simple.

Kinda cool. Back in the 70s I think they called these spit balls.

Does what it says!
I find mine using up the alcohol way faster than advertised, but it's worth it. It definitely pulls a lot of moisture out of the horn.

I have ordered 4 of the Blowdry Brass kits. ACB seems to have the lowest prices for them. While I like what I get, I await the promised "refill kits" with foam and mouthpiece cleaner only. I use this product daily following my practice time.

Clarinets and saxophones have been dried out for years with their swabs.Now our trumpets,cornets and flugelhorns have a great tool to dry the spit out and I guess the alcohol used on the sponge bit also is a disinfectant.Best maintenance tool for trumpets I have ever used and it takes at the most 2 minutes to use.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a kit tucked into the case of the Manchester Pocket Trumpet I recently purchased from ACB. I am not exactly a germophobe, but as an RN understand that microbes, including fungi, like dark moist places and have tried to maintain my instruments pulling an absorbent cloth through the lead pipe. Works great there, but what about the rest of the instrument? Plus, I was leery about removing the tuning slide after I played each day -- would seem to add extra wear and tear and if I wasn't careful, it could hit the bell. I find this product works exactly as advertised. The isopropyl alcohol (comes in a small container in which to soak the pad) will need replaced fairly regularly as it evaporates and gets nasty after repeated uses of the sponge. It also serves as a lubricant to help the sponge pass through the horn. The directions are clear on how to use it. The sponges passes easily through the horn with the keys up or with all the keys down. You can track the progress of the sponge as it "pops" through the valves. I put the sponge into the lead pipe after squeezing nearly all of the alcohol out. The isopropyl alcohol tends to dry the interior and it also seems to push the condensate along (you'll hear gurgling sometimes, even after you've used the water keys before starting the process). The only issue I had was with a cornet from 1950 in great condition, but with a repair near the third valve slide (expertly done). For some reason the sponge got hung up, but it was easy to retrieve by gently removing the third piston after removing its slide. The sponge seemed no worse for the wear. I have been contemplating using another sponge partially soaked in valve oil to push through the horn. I imagine the pads won't last as long. Bottom line -- works as advertised.

Works great!
Need to make sure the sponge bits stay soaked in the isopropyl alcohol so they blow through properly.
