I Left My Mouthpiece in Vinegar Overnight to See What Would Happen

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS ON YOUR OWN. YOU COULD RUIN YOUR MOUTHPIECE.
There are many variables here including the material of the mouthpiece, acidity of the vinegar (mine was already diluted to 5% acidity), the composition of the tap water, etc. Since this was an extremely unscientific experiment, you may not get the same results. Clean your mouthpiece safely with my (very serious) tutorial, "How to Clean a Clarinet Mouthpiece": • How To Clean a Clarine...

Do this every day for 7 days, and let me know how it goes! Leave a comment and tell me when you start your 7-days of pinky practice, too. Happy practicing!

Practice these 5 Baermann exercises once a day for seven days and see how strong your pinkies become! These featured exercises have notes that, when played together, can become tricky and messy sounding. Alternate fingerings are essential in achieving a smooth and rapid transition from one note to another. If you play them with my video, I start out slow, 80 bpm, and then gradually increase speed (with a count off) until 160 is reached. You do not have to reach 160 all in the first practice session. Just work on getting the slower tempos clean first. As the week goes on, see if you can keep up with the faster tempos. By the end of the week, you will (hopefully!) be able to play these patterns with ease at twice the speed as before. Please leave a comment and let me know if you try this exercise out!

Takes the guess work out of cleaning it. Thank you.

Turns out Polident has the organic acids for plaque removal AND detergents for cleaning. Leaving a minty-fresh after taste. I soak my mouthpieces in a small glass of water (tall enough to submerge the mouthpiece) and drop in a polident tablet. Come back some 3-4 hours later and brush it out with an old toothbrush or mouthpiece brush.

what happens if you leave it in water?

tried to clean my sax mouthpiece by leaving it in a 50/50 bleach and water mix overnight. stripped the finish off of it and started eat away at the rubber. i think vinegar might have been a better option.

A couple of points 1) Why would you use icky vinegar when you could be using refreshing lemon juice instead for the same chemical action? :) Also, the effects of long soaking are going to vary greatly by the composition of the rubber used in manufacturing the mouthpiece. I wouldn't take the results seen here as gospel for every mouthpiece. Older mouthpieces in particular are likely to be much more er, colorful after such treatment.

Lol, well said 😂🙃! Lemon juice would be more pleasant, wouldn’t it?! And very good point that this may not yield the same result with different mouthpieces - especially older ones as you said. Definitely would be fun to do a more “controlled” experiment in the future... 🤔

This is correct. I'd like to add a quick thought about this, with regards to composition of rubber. Have you ever seen a very old plastic mouthpiece with discoloration? No. Or at least, I haven't! Because plastic doesn't discolor. SO, if a mouthpiece does discolor (and especially if it produces a lovely orange-red or deep red-brown) that's an indication that few synthetics were used. I actually did an experiment and broke a plastic mouthpiece open, broke a Vandoren mouthpiece open, and the consistency of the material was surprisingly similar. Doing the same experiment with an old (poor) Buffet Chedeville produced such a different way of shattering. I need to do a video on this...breaking apart different mouthpieces, including D'Addario, Babbitts (like Pyne), certain CNC, to better look at the kind of material we're putting in our mouths. In conclusion (lol!), to anyone reading this...if you see a discolored mouthpiece, it might be a (very) good sign!
