Today, I found out that maggots can live inside of a saxophone. FML

Rule number one: NEVER leave your reed on your mouthpiece.

That's sickening. I just hope you didn't get any of them in your mouth.

Did you find out the easy way or the hard way?

There's no easy or hard way here. Both can be sickening.

You probably need to get it professionally cleaned dude

I hope you didn't find that out when you were sucking the spit out of your reed. Yuck!

You do realize saxophones can cost up to $2000-$3000 on average, whereas it could cost under $100 to get it cleaned, right?

The guys at a music shop near me told me about how they once found a dead mouse inside a sousaphone (tuba). They still have it in a plastic Baggie hanging on the wall for some reason.

And that's why the tell you to make sure you clean your instrument every so often.

us drummers dont have that issue :p
