I usually soak it in hot/warm water for about 30 minutes and then just use a washcloth or something to try and get it out a little at a time and if that doesn't work I soak it in hot soapy water and try it that way. I think the soapy water would do better for you. It usually works for me.
I hope this helps in some way.
In not 100% sure but is it true?
I mean I can not confirm nor deny that
For the band, I would want flute because that's my instrument and its soo cool!
violin for orchestra because the violin is so sweet and tiny and has a wonderful sound. both instruments could play Beethoven's 9th. they are important because with their little sound they carry a lot of notes that make the music kinda flow!
East Sussex England
hope that helps
