How do you drain spit from a French horn?
To drain the spit from a french horn, make sure the mouthpiece is NOT connected, then flip the horn so that the bell is facing to your bottom right, and the mouthpiece slot is facing your bottom left. From there, remove the tuning slide from the instrument. Then simply flick the slide to remove the spit from it, and reinsert it to your horn. If this does not work, you spit is probably in one of your valve slides. Follow the same process from above, except turn it so your valves are pointing upward, and their slides downward. Then empty each one in turn in the way mentioned above, until the spit is located.

How do you clean a french horn?
You can clean a french horn by giving it a bath. First, lay an old towel down on the bottom of a bathtub. Then fill the tub with lukewarm water. Remove all the slides and lay them down on the towel. Unscrew the rotor caps, and put them aside, as they won't need cleaning. Finally, place your horn on top of the towel. Let it soak for 5-10 minutes. Next, get a snake (a long, thin, flexible piece of plastic or wire, with bristles on either end) and run it through all of the slides. Put it down the leadpipe and pull it back out. Take all the slides out of the water, and dump the water left in them out. Take your horn out, and make sure to rotate it several times to get water out of it as well. Using an old, clean towel, dry your horn and slides thoroughly. Take slide grease and put it on each of your slides. Slip then back into their places in the horn, remembering to hold down the appropriate valves. Put a drop of oil on each of the rotors and work the corresponding valve up and down before screwing the rotor caps back on. Finish up by polishing your horn.
