Re: Silver-plated keys discoloration!?

I got my 3M strips from Woodwind and Brasswind but, after my recent experiences with them, I hate to recommend them to anyone for anything. It took over two months and several phone calls and emails to get them to ship and they still haven't completely filled my order. They claim it was their warehouse consolidation but I think it goes beyond that to a terribly kludgy system. Initially, they shipped half my original order, though their packing slip said all but a couple of items had shipped. The only way they could "correct" the error was to process all the unsent items as "returns" from me and then reship. I'd hate to be their auditor.

A Google search on "3M silver protector strips" without the quotes will turn up quite a few hits. It's instructive to read the reviews for Music123 and WWBW (essentially the same company) at Pricegrabber. Music123 actually has more negatives than positives! IMNSHO, you order from them at your own risk. Fluteworld shows a slightly lower price. Omar's solution would probably be even less costly.

Omar, I think "dusting" could potentially be a serious problem, even in small amounts. Is there a product in solid blocks small enough to fit the accessory section of a clarinet case that might be available?

Best regards,
jnk
