| Re: Tarnished brass question? Hello Smrgol!
Go ahead and polish it, and then wait a while. If there is what is known as "red-rot" it is an internal problem that really messes with horns and will show up later as little "rust stains." I am a big all-or-nothing kind of guy, and have no problem with raw brass--but would suggest you wait a while to find out where the brown staining comes from.
Have fun!
