RE: 3M Tarnishing Strips

Ginny and all:

Keeping one of the older instruments shimmy is, indeed, a problem. Wiping them off after each time you play with a clean dry cloth really helps, but some of them will never polish and shine like the newer ones because of the metal content. They are also sometimes called "German" silver, and have a tendency to turn rather brown over the years. I haven't found anything that could really make them shine except a repair shop after an overahul.
