The pits have a tendency to hold on to the moisture and other particles going through our instrument which in turn causes corrosion to occur more quickly. Pitting is a term used for the craters or low spots that develop, especially in the mouthpipe, where corrosion has eaten away at the metal. How often? Once a month is an easy interval to remember, but this varies based on personal body chemistry, how clean your mouth is when you play (did you just eat? Are you drinking coffee?), and how pitted the metal on the inside of your instrument currently is. Well, I’m sure we’ve all been told to get a snake to swab out our mouthpipes.
