Hi!
It`s kinda dumb to admit but I`ve put aside my E11 for about two months now, and before i notice it, most of the keys on the clarinet are discolored!
(i had given up on the clarinet after 4 years, but then the orchestra i wanted to go to opened a spot for me!)
I`ve tried scrubbing it off/put through warm water/ soap(?) it, but the blue "stain" are still there! It used to be pretty shiny, but now it`s mostly dark now! Is the problem fixable? Thanks!

I dunno how to fix it, but the paint`s coming off of my keys, so they`re turning white... On someone else I knew`s clarinet, the keys were turning green. hmm

Someone I know uses silver polish on their keys to shine them back up, like the kind you use on silverware and stuff. I don`t know if that is safe for all clarinets though. I`d take it to a professional cleaner or a music store (who might clean it for you)and see what they say.

Hope i could help

thanks!
