Silver Plated Instruments
Do not use any silver polish on silver plated instruments. Silver polish is an abrasive which is somewhat like
sandpaper. You will wear through the silver plating. You will also get some polish residue left behind in hard to reach
areas and your instruments will look bad. You may also get this polish into your valve casings and then you will be in
trouble.
If you really must shine up your silver trumpet, the best thing to do is buy a
silver cleaning cloth
. Silver cloths are
inpregnanted with some mild polish called "rouge".
