Hello list, has any one here used Ketchup to clean the Brass and Bronze ? Just coat all surfaces let set 30 minutes and rinse of with water but be warned it will be shinier than new all copper alloys can be done this way. mx

As a rule, harmonica players are prone to the munchies--uncontrollable urges to eat everything. Applying ketchup
to your harmonica will intensify these urges--like a bear to honey. Oh one other thing, be certain to lather up with Preparation H the morning after (Ouch!)
