Rain spots on raw brass

Post by Wyvern »

As I found out this last week, playing out in the rain with a polished raw brass tuba (my Haag Eb) leaves unsightly green spots which are a pain to clean off.

My question is; If a raw brass tuba is left to tarnish brown, will the tarnish protect the brass from rain spots?
