Good morning.

I have 3 Yamahas, a Bb, an A, and an Eb. These instruments did not come
with the greatest pads in the world. I have since seen newer Yamahas and it
appears they have addressed this problem. I have had to resort to
rubber-banding my low E/B key down on occasion because the pad looses its
seat. The rubber band has left a black tarnish on the key. What should I
use to clean it off?

Thanks in advance
