Well, as far as cleaning, just a bath in dish soap water, then I spray wax mine with Turtle Spray car wax from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Turtle-Wax-1-Step-Wax-and-Dry-26oz/16888957 after the horn is back together. I just follow the directions, get it wet under the shower(won't hurt it), spray with the wax, then wipe with these from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Auto-Drive-Multi-Purpose-Microfiber-Cleaning-Towels-10-Pack-Assorted-Colors/117054686 keeps my horns, even the bare brass ones, from tarnishing, and helps keep the hand acids off the horn. Lasts a long time. I have a 1892 F Besson Flugel I rarely play that is bare brass, did it 2 years ago, still shiny, not tarnished. On the regrets, IDK, does he still play? Just depends I guess, but if the Strad wasn't actually his, then the Kanstul, which I guess was, might be a regret. My strad I sold after high school was actually mine, a silver plated 1971 Strad 37. Hard to say if it was only borrowed. Not my place, but maybe why he's not attached to the others. If it were me, I'd definitely keep the Kanstul though, reputation of the maker is legend, especially made when Zig was still alive and running things. Zig (Zigmant J.) Kanstul died on October 31, 2016, so might want to date it first The Getzen is a great horn, but not special. But depends on the player, they do have great valve action, and will likely keep their value, but the Kanstul will likely increase in value. The Bach Strad, early Elkhart, definitely a keeper. It's what I sold after high school and never should have.
