    One of my kids has just started clarinet at school, and that's something I had thought about given that it's a loan instrument. Cleaned the mouthpiece with sterilising fluid and only using new reeds. I didn't think the bugs could survive in the body of the instrument itself...

    She doesn't seem to have caught anything though.

    Due to the curved nature of most brass (allowing saliva to pool) I would have thought bugs and bacteria build up were far more of an issue with them than the clarinet.... well hopefully.

    Sharing trumpets is always a tad risky.  Clean your instrument well after its been orally abused.
