Cleaning

[FastFred]

When I bought my YTS275 it came with 2 pull-throughs, one for the crook and one for the mainsax body. I have been using both but my sax teacher states he nevers uses the main body pull-through as they can jam near the top? Should I listen to this advice as being a beginner there is obviously more water/saliva/condesation/whateveritis in there!

They can do if they get a bit screwed up as they travel through and you end up with a hard ball of chamois which won't pull through. Doesn't happen when you know about it, as you'll be careful now!

If it does push it back down the bore with a stick, and then try pulling again as it may have loosened up. If not shove it back down to the bell and take it back out that way - you'll find a way.

I'd carry on using it, just be aware it might happen.
