    The woodwinds like clarinets and flutes are also regularly disassembled and cleaned.

    F-L Silver not really my experience with French horn — apart from taking out the tuning bits and letting the spit/condensation out (mostly by gravity and spinning if around a time or two) there really isn't much you can do to clean it. Maybe pipe cleaners would work for some of it but I never had them. Even the valves, you can unscrew the caps but then you just see the top of the valves where you can add a drop of oil, the rest of it was assembled in a one-way fashion, so true cleaning would involve unsoldering the tubes.

    Well, yeah, nobody expects to disassemble them.

Yes, this has gone on before. No, it isn't new. But don't try to tell me that people thinking it's ok to do this has nothing whatsoever to do with the messaging and behavior of public figures and leaders. Looking at you, Fox News and Trump and his enablers.
