This kit is NOT what you are looking. I will not assume that you have read articles and discussions on the web about "trumpet care" and trumpet care kits. I read them and decided that I still wanted some good tools for cleaning my trumpet and bought this kit. So what's wrong with this kit?

1. The tubular looking thing in the picture with two brushes attached to the ends is a STIFF plastic with serious memory so it does not go around the bends in your horn without enough force to damage your horn.

2. The brushes consist of an even stiffer wire twisted around the bristles of the brush material (plastic) and there is no protective material on the end. So if you try to push this material around one of the crooks of a slide, you will gouge the inside of your horn.

You also might think that a "silver care kit" especially a "Master Silver Care Kit" would include some nice non-abrasive silver polish.

There is nothing in this kit to give it a positive rating.
