Steps to revive an old wooden clarinet

Hello all
So I picked up an old wooden clarinet from a junk shop and I'm looking for tips or precautionary measures to take before I start to play it to avoid cracking or warping of the wood.
I have no idea how long the horn has been dormant but i suspect it has been for quite a while and all I know is that it is a buffet.
I would also like to shine up the key work as well - should I just take some Brasso to disassembled keys and go or could that cause more problems. I am not sure if the keys are silver or nickle either and don't know how to tell on an older example (when they are shiny I can tell by the colour usuallly)
thanks
