 Re: Silver-plated keys discoloration!?

And it happened to me too with my brand new Buffet Crampon Tosca bass clarinet. After 2 months the discoloration suddenly started at the keys of the upper part. Next to that part I kept my mouthpieces, the new original Buffet and a new Selmer Focus, with a cloth between them. I thought this would be sufficient, but helas. Since then I keep my mouthpieces in a separate place in the case, away from the clarinet.

When I bought the Buffet, I also tried a brand new Selmer Privilege bass clarinet. But when I opened the case, the Selmer looked terrible. The silver plating was discoloured everywhere, especially on the beaker. The music store took it immediately to their workshop for cleaning. And the Selmer had a Selmer mouthpiece in the case of course. I don't know for sure if the Selmer mouthpiece caused the trouble, but it is remarkable.

And thank all of you for the active charcoal tips.
