Regardless of whether the keys are silver-plated, nickel-plated, or
unplated German silver, the polishing cloths they sell in music stores
(such as the Selmer plated surface cloth) will shine them about as much as
is possible short of professional buffing. Just don't use cloths with
abrasives (like Shino) or any substance like silver polish, which will just
get all over in the nooks and crannies and on the pads.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
