Purcahsed this kit to make a repair/cleaning my Bach Strat. It comes with all the components for simply parts replacements such as spit value cork (only 1 by the way-could use a couple more), spit value replacement spring (unwound-you need to bend it yourself so if you don't know how, have a professional repair person do it), snake brush, valve springs with plastic & rubber fittings for the piston valves, valve oil, two types of silver polish cloths, mouthpiece brush, slide grease, replacement lock value for third valve w/screw bolts, and cloth rod. It's a few dollars cheaper than the music stores. I clean my horn every year, so this purchase was a replacement for the cleaning items I've had for about 15+ years. Since I've also kept my Strat in great condition anyway, I only really use the new cloths, spit value cork, snake, oil, and springs. Otherwise, this is a good kit to keep in your case for years to come. You could buy the individual parts but as a package this is more of an inexpensive choice. The cork is hard to find by itself and sometimes you have to send it to an actual repair shop to replace the cork/spit valve spring. Since I know how to do this, it is cheaper for me to do it this way. I would have liked to see a better carrying bag for the items in this kit but it's not a big deal. I am happy with this purchase.

Everything came as was listed in product description. Received the kit in 4 days, everything was there and new. Went to clean my trumpet, everything worked out fine. No complaints, I plan to order from this seller again in the future.
