Good morning, looking at the lesson I got an idea that I would like to present to you, for the small and ring keys I would have thought that they could be inserted in a post with a stop flange and a thread with a butterfly nut to keep it steady during buffing. best regards Luciano
I have a question, after buffing with this white component, how long does the polished surface last? I’m little worried that after buffing the keys they rust faster than before. By the way, thank you very much for such as helpful videos.
How fast keys tarnish depends on a lot of factors such as what the surface metal is (nickel plate, nickel-silver, silver plate), the humidity, how much it is played, how much you perspire while playing it, how acidic your perspiration is, if it is stored inside or outside of a case, and probably a few other factors. If the keys are silver plated they should be polished and not buffed. In general, the keys start to tarnish whenever they are exposed to air, but it is a very slow process. The best way to keep the keys from getting the thick layer of tarnish that needs to be buffed, is to wipe them with a T-shirt type material about once a month.
I’m not even a clarinet player but, this is somehow very satisfying to watch! Keep up the good work Art!!

what speed is the buffer at? Also, can you buff the body of a resin clarinet to take out small scratches?
