Maintenance Kit
If you're looking to bundle everything, our French horn survival kit contains light rotor oil, light bearing and linkage oil, light slide gel, a vinyl-coated cleaning snake, a mouthpiece brush, a pencil clip, a pencil, a microfiber polishing cloth, and a luggage tag in a vinyl zipper carry bag.
Mouthpiece Brush
For regular cleaning, use this basic mouthpiece brush.
Pencil Clip
Provides easy access to a pencil, a needed tool for horn players of all levels. The pencil clip attaches to the outer slide tubing.
Polishing Cloth
Remove hard water spots, dirt, handprints, and grease with this polishing cloth.
Extra String and Screwdriver
Most horns have string linkage, and over time the strings will break. You should always carry extra string and/or a stringing kit with screwdriver just in case it happens at an inopportune time.
Chef's Kit
Save a little money with the Chef's Kit bundle, which includes a Faxx MC mouthpiece, a horn survival kit, and a copy of Recipe for Success.
