We had DICKRAN ATAMIAN performing with our community orchestra
over the weekend and he lubricated the keytops with some type
of SHOE POLISH. I suspected he might be doing this, but
confirmed it only after his performance. I thought it might
have silicone in it, based on how difficult it was to remove.
The sharps seem to be contaminated still. 


Has anyone else encountered such foolishness?
