So for Christmas, my parents very generously purchased a bass clarinet for me. It's brand new, and it's basically a beginner/intermediate instrument. The issue is, I've been using it for 3 months now and I've started to notice tarnish(?) forming on some of the keys. These keys, I'm pretty sure, are nickel-plated. I have been looking around online for some guidance on what to do to remove this tarnish from the keys. But the only help I have found is for silver-plated keys. Of course, I have tried silver tarnish remover, which did not work. Any other methods of removing tarnish from nickel that I found would more or less hurt the instrument/pads if I were to try the method. Does anybody have any advice on how to remove this? It would be great if I were able to keep my keys looking nice and pretty. I asked one of my band directors, but she said she wasn't sure and would do research. That was a week ago and it's steadily getting worse. Any help would be appreciated... thank you.
I have attached a picture.
Also, I'm aware that this is probably due from the sweat and oils on my fingers.
