Hi everyone,
I am a saxophone, trombone, and euphonium player. I just bought mt first clarinet at a good price(I think). It is a 1997 Buffet festival. It plays and sounds great but it really needs a good cleaning. I read a lot of info regarding cleaning a clarinet in general. But I could not find the info that applies to my situation. This one has thick black substance build-ups around edges of where fingers touch the body(see photo). I can remove them with my fingernails easily but other places are under the keys and it is hard to reach there. They are disgusting and I plant to remove all the keys and clean them by myself. My question is what is safe to use to clean the outside body of this wood clarinet? I am thinking of using alcohol to clean and disinfect. Is this a safe method? Should I use mild dish sope? a furniture cleaner?
Please Help.
Thank You
