Tips on restoring your Malerne:

1) Get a bottle brush and scrub the bore of all the pieces with it.

2) Get some of Doc Omar's "Doctor's Products" bore oil and lightly go over the inside and outside of all the wood pieces with it.

3) Polish the nickel-silver ("German silver") keys with Brasso and a soft cotton towel, rag, or old T-shirt. Afterwards, do NOT coat the keys with anything. Just wipe them with a clean cotton cloth after every playing, and periodically (maybe once or twice a year) do the Brasso thing again.

This is a simple but effective plan -- maybe not the best plan, but it's worked for me for many years with similar vintage clarinets.
