4BR Quiz: The answer to which smell?

We had a great response to our recent 'Keep it Clean' finishing polish quiz...

Keep it clean
 

Our quick 'smell test' quiz ensured that lots of people sniffed the air to try and win a brilliant b# brass instrument cleaning kit worth £29.99.

Huge hit

Our friends at b# cleaning recently launched their 'Keep it Clean' kit, which contains an instrument soak, finishing polish and Helin cleaning kit — and it has already been a huge hit — so no surprise we had plenty of people wanting to get their mitts on it.

Answer:

Which flavour oil does the 'Keep it Clean' finishing polish smell of?

It was Avacado — although Hawaiian pizza would have been great...

Winner:

The delighted winner was Angela Blythe of Uppermill, who only started learning to play the tenor horn six months ago, after being a brass band fan ever since her son Richard started playing percussion.

He's now paying with Fairey Band, and Angela wanted to still be involved — so took up the tenor horn. She's just invested in a great vintage 'roundstamp' Sovereign, so she hopes the cleaning kit will keep the instrument in tip-top condition.
