Polish for a once-silver horn

Hi All…
My current project is a 1930 Pan American baritone (I think, kinda small for a Euph.) It is (was?) matte silver with bright bell innards and name area. Currently it is BLACK, I need some ideas on an industrial strength silver polish. The silver is, near as I can tell, almost 100%. All I got to do is get down to it! Thanks!

3M Tarnishield. Use a whole bottle. Follow the directions on bottle. Basically, slop it on, let set for a few minutes, take into the shower and rinse it off, wipe to polish, and admire the shine. I did this with my tuba which came black with tarnish and is now very shiny silver. You may have to repeat this every 10 years or so.

MAAS metal polish works really good too. It made my almost black 20J look brand new

The OP’s request maybe is a bit complex for
this source, but that was the best I could find.

Word.
You may require a little elbow grease for a horn that old, but the claim is that it is one of the LEAST abrasive cleaners. What I use.
