 Re: removing clarinet screws with vinegar

Ive done the alum before to remove a rod from a key. When I did it i used a copper pot over a hot plate. The reaction was going fine for awhile but then the water turned murky and the key gained an ugly film over it. No matter what i did the alum would no longer dissolve the steel and I ended up having to unsolder the key and solder in a new nickel tube.

I've also learned that the threads on clarinet screws are not always standardized expessically with older clarinets so finding a replacement can be hard.

I suppose ill stick to penitrating oil and heat for now.
