Topic: LP Salsa Cowbell's change their Silver color to Rusty.

[Roberto Perretta]

Hi, does anyone know how to prevent LP Salsa cowbells to go from that beautiful silver color when new to that ugly brown rusty color after a couple of months?

[Paulina Toro]

Not specifically... but I'm assuming they're not kept out in the rain or anything? Are they kept covered when you're not using them?

I need to find something to clean my cymbal...

I've had the same problem with rust on these particular cowbells ... however, I exposed mine to water on purpose (dipping it into a bowl of water while playing it ... for a performance effect).

Thanks. I dont cover my cowbells when I put them away, I just carry them around on a small bag with other cowbells and jam blocks and stuff, never exposed to rain though, I have 3 salsa bells, all went rusty. The sound is pretty much the same though, but it sucks that they look so cool when new and then turn brownish after a while. I guess its just exposure to humidity and other factors.
