Hi,
Does anyone know how to clean tarnish off of bocals and possibly bassoon keys as well? The tarnish is green if left on the instrument, and I'm trying to prevent it from spreading any further/growing any worse on one of my bocals. I'm not sure what the metal of the bocals or keys is. I know I need a new case (the liner is decaying around the hinges and thus is beginning to expose the bocal I'm concerned about to more air leaks), but I don't have the finances for one right now.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Monica
