Should i get my Trumpet deep cleaned or will cleaning it myself be fine?
i have inherited a trumpet from my aunt who sadly passed away last year, (im the only one in my extended family other than her who played an instrument, though i dont play Trumpet.) She played alot when she was younger, however the Trumpet was kinda lost in her attic for the last 3-4 years till she passed (she was unfortunatly very ill), but its probably isn't particularly cleaned.
Im really excited to learn the Trumpet as its such a cool instrument, and tbf as a Woodwind player it looks like witchcraft to me. Would it be worth getting it proffesionally cleaned at a music shop, or will it surffice to just follow a cleaning tutorial and do it myself? - i am rather anxious about diving into that as im not sure if it will surfice and ive never even touched a trumpet...
