 Re: How to stop the tarnish

Actually, silver tarnish is caused by its reaction to sulfur. Since hard rubber contains sulfur as part of the vulcanization process, storing mouthpieces in the case can be a problem. Silver also reacts to salt water. Since salt is present in perspiration, this can also be a problem.

Apparently, some clarinet cases contain sulfur compounds, which will cause tarnishing even in the absence of a hard rubber mouthpiece.
