Re: A cornet I can't figure out
Biggest cleaning problem is to keep down the tarnish. The silver plated ones...nickle silver mostly... tarnish fairly quickly in the light. However a coat of Renaissance Wax slows down the tarnish process. The brass ones still with their lacquer finish require very little maintenance. Several of the older horns I have removed what remained of the lacquer and am down to the bare brass. Those need the wax too in order to keep a bit of a shine for a while.
