Ultrasonic Cleaning & Spa Packages

Our ultrasonic cleaning process gives your instrument a deep, hygienic clean using medical‑grade technology. Every clean is finished by hand and protected with professional‑grade products. Spa Packages can be booked on their own, added to a repair, or included automatically with a full brass instrument service.

What is Ultrasonic Cleaning?

Ultrasonic cleaning uses high‑frequency sound waves to remove dirt, residue, limescale and bacteria from every part of your instrument - even areas traditional cleaning can’t reach. Our machines are medical‑grade and safe for all brass instruments, flutes and saxophone mouthpieces.

  • Removes bacteria, mould, food particles and built‑up residue

  • Reaches internal areas brushes cannot access

  • Uses water and eco‑friendly detergents (no harsh chemicals)

  • Protects the metal - no abrasion or acid damage

  • Restores airflow, improves response and extends instrument life
