Re: Best way to clean and polish silver clarinet keys

Chris laid out the best plan for silver plated keys, in my shop we use a product from Ferree's Supplies called Empire's. They sell it in two different sizes and it works very well just as Chris described it above. Then I will do every key by hand with a silver polish cloth to get them looking terrific.

Please look carefully to make sure they are silver plated and not nickel plated, we approach those in a different manner. Silver polish does little to take away the cloudy look on nickel keys, I use a buffing wheel and the yellow nickel buffing compound (I use one from Allied Supply). Then the keys need to be degreased, at home you might just use some lacquer thinner and do a good job, then wash them in pretty hot, soapy water.

Good luck!
