>>Are you sure this wasn't nickel plated? That turns grey and can only be polished up to a bright shine by machine buffing whereas silver plate will turn blue-black and can be cleaned with any liquid silver polish by hand.

Fortunately, there's no need to wear down nickel plating with machine buffing. Happich Semi-Chrome Polish, sold in a tube at hardware stores, does a beautiful job of restoring the shine to old nickel silver. Use Semi-Chrome the same way you'd use silver polish.

The main reason I haven't tried camphor is that then my case would smell like ... camphor. For silver-plated clarinets and saxophones, storing the instrument in a closed case with a 3-M Silver Protector Strip (sold in stores that sell sterling silver tableware) has worked well for me. The bass saxophone gets two strips!
