Letter 39076
Used trumpet has some kind of rusting
under the keys
++++++
I think its rust or some type of reaction from acid? its moldy
looking . Its not a lot. Is there anything I can do or purchase(I'm a
poor college student who doesnt have rich parents) to change that
appearance?

Try hot 5% citric acid solution,before treatment degrese it with
Acetone [link is to product info at Rockler]. After treatment
rinse it well and dry with paper towels. Good luck!

Moldy looking... green color? I presume your trumpet is brass,
this is probably just a little corrosion. Use the search engine on
this sight and you can find countless letters on how to clean up
brass - they basically breakdown to using some laquer remover
followed by Brasso [link is to product info at Amazon]
followed by re-applying the laquer (although the last step can be
skipped).
Good luck!
