Duh!! The mouthpiece had TARNISH on it. In all of my 50 plus years of playing, mostly on silver plated euphoniums, you would think I would know that. But, I must say, I have never bought a mouthpiece that started out with tarnish on it, so I thought these marks were blemishes. Live and learn. I go away now....John Morgan

I have several silver polishing cloths with polish built into the cloths. They did the trick already. Mouthpiece looks fine now, I, however, look like a fool. My natural state, says my wife (with a smile and love).
By the way, on another subject sort of altogether, silver cloths with polish built in are the "bomb" for shining silver plated horns. I used to use polish in a container and cloths, no more. The cloths with the stuff in them work great. Just keep them sealed up real good when not in use to preserve the polish. And a good hand washing when you are done.John Morgan

I had the same experience recently with a mouthpiece purchase John. They do shine up quickly though, I'm thankful for that. I love the Hagerty's polish. Seems to work well with both horn and mouthpiece.
What cloths with the polish in them do you use. I've not tried that. Sounds like a neat idea.John 3:16

What Dave suggested sounds great. I have some that I got directly from Yamaha. I may try one from Hagerty.John Morgan

I bought one of these last year from MP express because of a post on this board. Since then, it's become the mp I use with my horn. Great mp!Euphs:

I, too, thought Quinn's large stash of these mps was about gone, so I bought another one as a backup given their low prices. However, it seems that he has more again. He seems to pull them like rabbits out of a hat! I'm not sure exactly how many he really does have, but he''s sold over a 100 and the listing says that he has more than 10 available. At the price he's selling them, it looks like everyone here on the forum will be able to get one if they want one.
Here'e the link once again for anyone who isn't tired of me recommending this mp.

Update:
Ebay lists that Quinn is down to his last King/CKB/UMI 5G. He once had 133.
If you've ever been interested you should take a look because these are no longer in production.
