I usually do if the instrument has an unplated finish, and the patina is 'nice enough'. It's getting to be past tense now as I've sold a few (the Inderbinen went to New York a couple of years ago)

Adding 20% yeast biomass to existing artificial bee feed formulations is a complete diet apparently. A major benefit is that feeding domestcated bees on this not only greatly increases their brood raising performance, but also removes their reliance on natural pollen allowing native wild bee species to flourish also.

I do so hope that was posted for humourous effect! 😱 Warm soapy water, careful drying, appropriate lubricants (light machine/spindle oil & petroleum jelly for me), and meticulous oral hygiene. An occasional buff with Renaissance wax polish

MDMA is also notorious for causing acute dehydration. As @StringJunky says, a dry throat and elevated temperature won't help.

Just a mask to wear when cordial, constructive dialogue appears to have left the building. Perhaps you should PM me. I don't bite.

You should see a mechanic, or perhaps a fishmonger. I'm struggling to make 'six' and 'hello' sound different. Shchzhzhshch....itch.

It seems like an appropriate response to one whose sole intent consistently appears to be to wreck any meaningful dialogue. (And maybe payback for past ad hominems). ... which compares unfavourably to @DavidWahl 's well-considered, constructive response to what could well have been taken as a deliberately provocative critique. (It was). We both gained from the exchange which is surely the intent of this forum. I'm done with your abusive negativity for now.

It does, though the heavy lifting should be done by a mild abrasive rather than chemical action. In some formulations, Brasso uses a bit of oxalic acid (pKa 1.25) as its main chelant, though the pH is balanced by the addition of ammonia. One does not want acid pitting on the Bauerfeind bronze valve casing of a custom Inderbinen trumpet. Does serious damage to the resale value. (Actually wouldn't even use Brasso on mine!)

Well answered!

My apologies. I should have avoided all ambiguity by referring to him as Doctor Watson 🤭

You're thinking about "A Catcher in the Rye" Hardly! Holden Caulfield is a puerile narcissist; a young Trump in the making. Similarly destructive of course, but quite a different character type. Do you identify with this rôle? ... and drink from the cattle trough of doom? No thanks. Not when the hedgerows have brambles and elderberries a-plenty.

Not if he wishes to remain in the priesthood. Then follow that path if you believe it's the one for you. Rubbish. One channels it, and all other negative impulses into positive, constructive action. Or you sit, wallowing in self-pity, and pretend that that somehow makes you a philosopher. Self-flagellation? Not for me. John's a pathetic, self-pitying wimp. I could however identify with Helmholtz, perhaps. Except that I chose exile in Nigeria rather than the Falkland Islands. Actually, when I think about it, the parallels are... interesting.

Then by the same token, you must fail to understand it too. Pointless and off topic. Why are they mutually exclusive? The priest promises relief from hardship in the afterlife; the engineer strives to deliver it in the present. Sorry, I don't do angst. As a palliative I'd recommend The Roads to Freedom. Both more constructive and on topic.
