Pour about half a bottle of lemon juice into the leadpipe using the mouthpiece as a funnel, lay the horn on it's side (bell-side up) propped up against a wall overnight. The next morning, dump the lemon juice out (it will be green by now) and flush the horn out with water until no more green stuff comes out. Budda-Bing, you have a clean horn.
Use a light machine oil (3-in-1)and sparingly oil all the moving parts of the linkage and the rotor shafts where they protrude through the casings on the top and bottom. Budda-Bing, Budda-Boom, your well oiled!
