Re: ultrasonic cleaning

I have boiled up sets of keys in a frying pan using only water, washing-up liquid and rolled up bits of aluminium foil and this gets all the crud out from hard to reach areas. But keep changing the foil every now and then when it turns dark grey. It doesn't clean off the really badly tarnished silver though.

I bought my ultrasonic cleaner off that particular site (from Holland) and it's a 1.4 litre capacity. The only keys that won't go in are oboe outer feathers (though they can be done by immersing one end at a time), but all Bb/A clarinet keys go in.
