Re: Going raw

I mention the green hands because of my husband's french horn, which is raw brass, and about 20 yrs old. Not only does his right hand get a little green, but so do the sleeves of his tux shirt whenever he has an orchestra gig! I think it probably depends on body chemistry, too - how acidic you are, and how much you sweat. I just get the itchy green scaly rash - kind of like you get if you're allergic to some jewelry. Nasty, so I don't touch raw brass if I can help it!
