Executive Systems West - Musician owned for Musicians.

ESW has developed the Quick Horn Rinse, (QHR). The QHR is designed for all levels of performer, from elementary student to professional brass musician. It is a device for easily flushing water through your horn. Most debris enters the horn through the lead pipe. Therefore, that is the most important part of the horn to keep clean. With soapy water, a snake and the QHR, you can easily flush debris from your horn and have a clean horn ready for playing in as little as twenty (20) minutes.

Different models of the QHR attach to either your bathtub faucet, or a standard garden hose or utility hose. Models are available for both large brass (Tuba, Euphonium, Baritone, and Trombone) and small brass (French Horn, Cornet, Trumpet, and Alto Horn) instruments.

 Executive Systems West (ESW) was founded in 1983. The company began by marketing turnkey computer systems to the dental community, and provided state of the art software solutions for mainframe systems. Other product and service lines were added over the years.

WHAT THE PROs SAY ABOUT the Quick Horn Rinse -

Dave Werden, former Euphonium Soloist, US Coast Guard Band - New Way to Clean Your Horn 18 June 2010. Visit www.DaveWerden.com

While I was at the ITEC exhibits I had the chance to meet a genuine entrepreneur, Mr. Bill Ricker. Or maybe "inventor" is a better word. He did what clever folks have done all through history: he saw a need and developed a solution to addresses it. He has a product to enable easy rinsing for large horns (trombones, euphoniums, tubas) and one for smaller horns (French horn, cornet/trumpet).

The idea is simple enough, but works like a charm. I tried the short hose with the threaded end at my outside hose faucet. It produced a powerful rinsing flow in the bore of the horn. If you rinse the horn regularly it would keep it much cleaner on an ongoing basis. I have sometimes played in dusty conditions and wished I could easily rinse the horn out afterward. This would have done the trick.

I did try the QHR and it cleaned out the lead pipe very well. The pressure created with my outside hose with the small nozzle was not as strong as I thought it would be, but it got things clean (which is the most important part for sure). So I think it is a very easy and viable way to clean the instrument.

I have used the QHR on two different horns and I find by first having a clean horn!! and then using QHR on a regular basis (weekly if lucky) that it keeps things clean and good feeling. Seems like a good product to me.

As a physician and trumpet player I am enthusiastic about the Quick Horn Rinse product. As a presenter of workshops for all grades of music education including Interlochen Center for the Arts, National Trumpet Competition, International Trumpet Guild, Rafael Mendez Institute and others, I frequently encounter brass instrument conditions that are less than sanitary - often with spoiled food particles growing bacteria throughout the entire horn. Cleaning the mouthpiece and lead-pipe alone is insufficient. Students are frequently astounded at the amount of "blue cheese" growing in their instruments, thus even more surprised at how much their playing improves with a good instrument cleaning. Your invention far exceeds the efficacy of any home cleaning method I have encountered. I will be highly recommending it to teachers and students in my presentations. Thank you for this fine addition to our musical world.
