Black stuff on a new tuba

Hi everyone,

After several failed attempts with my professor, Dave Unland, to get the York to work, I received my new Conn 56J in satin silver from Baltimore Brass yesterday. It plays really well, but every time I hold the horn, it turns my hands black as well as my t-shirt. I've tried cleaning the tuba with silver polish and Windex, but nothing has worked yet. Any suggestions? Thanks very much.

Sincerely,

Andy Smith
