Subj: [kl] Gungy green stuff on keys
Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 16:36:58 -0400

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been asked before (I'm sure it has) but
as I don't know what to call it, my searches on the archive have been
in vain. What do you call the nasty vile-green (about #00e6a9) organic
looking stuff which "grows" on keys, and seems to cause (or grow over)
holes in the plating? And what is the best way to remove it? Is there
any way to prevent it in the future?

Dan

PS - (I got my first clarinet to repair/overhaul today! Woo!)
