Hi Paul and Bob,

Thanks a lot for replying to my post.
I used a piece of cloth with a dab of toothpaste to polish keys before.
It seemed to work fine, but I can get the silver polish cloth as well.
"Labor intensive" is OK - I think it's more of a time consuming problem, not skilled labor.

Regarding the lock- I am going to call a locksmith.
If they cannot fix it, for about $70 I can get a set of replacement locks from the same manufacturer.
I am out of work now so I have time to tinker with this lock.

I do have a "regular" Buffet double case for R13 clarinets, but this case for Prestiges is supposed to be made of real leather and should accommodate Eb/Ab levers better.

I am not sure I like the locks in the first place on the Prestige cases because I feel there is bigger chance of them getting unlocked accidentally.
The case with broken lock is in nice condition otherwise, that's why I'd like to fix it.
