[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drying assembly includes a drying chamber 6, with an air outlet 9 at the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber 6. The top of the air outlet 9 is connected to one end of an air duct 7, and the other end of the air duct 7 is connected to a dryer 8. A dryer 8 is located next to the drying chamber 6 and is connected to the air outlet 9 through the air duct 7, thereby performing a drying operation on the tubular musical instruments inside the drying chamber 6.

[0034] The above embodiment discloses a brass instrument cleaning device. The device involves rotating the handle 503 to adjust the clamping block 504 to secure the brass instrument. The lifting mechanism 2 lowers the cleaning mechanism 3 and the water outlet 12. The water outlet 12 is connected to the water tank 10 via a water pipe 11, allowing the brass instrument to be rinsed during the cleaning process. After cleaning, the moving mechanism 4 is used to send the brass instrument into the drying chamber 6. A dryer 8 is located next to the drying chamber 6 and is connected to the air outlet 9 via an air duct 7, thus drying the tubular instrument inside the drying chamber 6. A main drain outlet is located at the bottom of the base plate 1. The drain hole 13 collects moisture from the surface of the base plate 1 and discharges it through the main drain outlet. This invention solves the problem of manually wiping and rinsing the long, narrow tubular instruments inside, improving cleaning efficiency.
