"all sorts of toxic metal alloys"??? Raw brass isn't contaminated with anything like that, and even if it were, the amount that could be absorbed from playing would be insignificant. It's just not dangerous unless you're allergic to it. LOTS of people play on raw brass for years with no problems. It's not like lead pipes leaching into water, where the pipe is actually made of lead and in continuous contact with the water. Do you keep your mouthpiece inside your mouth 24 hours a day?
