Just got off the phone with Custom Music. They're currently having a sale on the Sterling Virtuoso, so ... I've got one on the way. (Yay!)

Anyhoo, it's been 30+ years since I've had to break in a new euph. Aside from wiping down and oiling the valves, cleaning and greasing the slides, blowing oil down the leadpipe, and wiping down the horn before putting it away, are there any other recommended "best practices" for breaking in a new horn? (I think I'll pass on the "pour milk down the horn" routine, though.)

Also, does anyone have experience with silvercloth?

Thanks!
