Ron, Others, I just got off the phone with the administrator needing a policy, and the bottom line is this; what can a faculty member do to his piano after a student with questionable hygienic practices (read, sneezes, wipes nose with hand, then plays piano) leaves the room and the faculty person doesn't really want to play on it w/o disinfecting it? It's easy to say students should wash their hands, or just wash your hands, but I'd rather not press my fingers into someone else's snot. (How delicate is that now...) No matter what, there must be a way for teachers to safely wipe down the keys if they feel a need to do so. Alcohol wipes would be ideal, IF they indeed didn't ruin keytops. Jim <<<Indelicately put as it may have been, the only realistic approach I can see is to disinfect the incoming before the fact, rather than try to purge the area after each has come and gone.>>> Ron N
