I'm teaching myself how to repair, and I'm doing an overhaul to an alto clarinet. The clarinet is really old and very dirty. Is there a way to clean the keys (at least most of the dirt) without doing it individually by hand on each key? For example just putting them in some liquid that will clean them.
I don't necessarily want to make the keys shiny like new, but just remove the really disgusting dirt away.
I saw people say that a buffing machine (I'm not sure what buffing means) is the best and easiest but I don't have that yet. I understand that removes a little of the metal too.
Thanks.
