What are the measurements of water and bleach for cleaning a clarinet mouthpiece?

I have only one clarinet mouthpiece, but until I get one second mouth. Will someone tell me how much bleach to add to something smaller than a gallon of water. I would also like to know if it's better than soap, and if not what brand of soap.


The only real thing you need to do to clean a mouthpiece is to dip it in lemon juice. Grab a cup thin, put the mouthpiece in a point down and fill out the lemon juice to the line where the mouth is in contact with your mouth.

Café Cubana teaches basics of salsa dancing in Bellingham

The couple kicks off each evening with a beginning lesson in one of the styles that they teach (Cuban salsa, L.A. salsa, bachata, reggaeton, merengue, Cuban son); then Antonio dj's music for those styles the rest of the night. There are usually performances by Antonio and his students, including members of the Western Washington University Salsa Club, whom Antonio helps with coaching and choreography.

Heather says that they started not knowing any dancers in town and they now have about 400 email addresses on their newsletter mailing list, and 235 members on their Facebook group Rumba Northwest. They've performed at the Bellingham Farmers Market and they were onstage recently with the Afro-Cuban All-Stars at Mount Baker Theatre.

On Sundays, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Maritime Heritage Park (weather depending), they present Rueda-in-the-Park, where they teach and practice rueda; it's free and open to all levels. Rumba Northwest is bringing the 13-piece Cuban band Wil Campa y su Gran Union to the Blue Horse on Friday, July 29.

Stop the Clarinet Flu! Cleaning And Caring Marching Band ...

While 76 trombones leading a parade sounds wonderful followed by clarinets, and bassoons, is it possible that those instruments may cause oral infections to those people playing those musical instruments? A recently published study appears to confirm it does. So as your children appear regal in their marching outfits, are potentially large dental and medical bills looming? Is there a need to sterilize musical instruments ?

Microscopic organisms are everywhere. If you were conscious of how many lived on surfaces around your home and office, you’d go crazy! Many studies have demonstrated that huge communities of potentially infectious microbes exist on tables, sinks, toilet seats, food containers, and other surfaces. Ever consider where your guitar has been?

Cleaning and care of musical instruments has long been emphasized for instrument maintenance and its long-term durability. In the March/April 2011 issue of The Academy of General Dentistry, a study shows that sharing wind instruments among students can possible lead to dental infections....
