On laquered instruments, I have always used furniture polish and a soft cotton cloth.Cleans and protects.

Hi everyone I need a tip on polishing up an un lacquered horn. Anyone know where I can get what they used to call a blitz cloth that works? I use Brasso for extreme cases, but there must be something else out there in this day and age. Incidently, someone turned me on to Hetman ultra slide grease no 9 for your tuning slides, will hold and seal even the loosest slide- stickeyer than pizza!

[Hornlist] Fire at Philharmonie, Berlin
Two articles about a fire at the Philharmonie in Berlin. Apparently it's pretty serious, but the good news is that everybody got out. Note quotation from Sarah Willis!

[Hornlist] Re: Blitz cloth for unlacquered brass?
Here's another choice that will work for a severely tarnished unlacquered horn with deep dark brown or green spots, the kind that would take hours to polish out with a normal polish. Penny Brite is made with a food grade citric acid. It's very slightly abrasive, but the mild acid will do most of the work. That all sounds bad, but it's not destructive stuff. I only use it on really tough jobs. It will produce a dull yellow finish that is then easy to polish all shiny with regular brass polish. I like Wright's brass polish personally. The Penny Brite will also leave a slightly reddish hue near any soldered areas. That will also polish out easily. Just to be on the safe side, I spray it down with a glass cleaner containing ammonia to neutralize the acid in the Penny Brite, then rinse with water. Google for it, they have a website that will tell you where to find it locally, or you can order it online. The parent company is EZBrite Brands. Oh, full disclosure, they pay me one million dollars a year to recommend their product. - Steve Mumford ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
