Just a question. How many days/months/years does it take for a flute tarnish a little? Because I'm quite worried about my flute (PS;: the flute brand is JSchmidt)

Micron is quite right. If you wash your hands before picking up the instrument, and wipe it down after playing (my favorite tool for this is a microfiber cloth), you should notice that it does not tarnish as quickly, nor as much. Of course, tarnish won't affect how the instrument plays, as it is only a cosmetic problem, so it's not of great worry.

But most people are not going to have ultra-corrosive perspiration, so this care should help most.
