Re: Tarnished Keys

Paul- I apologize for my ambiguous word choice, but your acidity-situation sounds like quite a hassle! Chris' explanation is much clearer than mine, I believe. It looks like someone drew on my keys with a Sharpie, but all over them instead of in specific lines. There is no sign of erosion, and the shine is still there. It reminds me of the keywork on the Bliss clarinets but more of the brown-purple color.

What really makes me wonder is that the worst tarnished area is all over the left hand Eb/D# key. I'm not sure if that's still called a key, because it's just the part that covers the hole... It's not as if I use that key much to anyways, so why it is tarnishing I don't know!

If all the keys tarnish like this I will post pictures so everyone can see the monster.
