[CAUT] Keys

[Jim Busby]

Barb,

It does work well. Have we had this topic in the PTJ? Susan Kline told me about the wax years ago and this has saved my butt a couple times.

Side note: Ronnie Millsap had the most disgusting keys I’ve ever touched. Black and almost gooey. The stage manager’s first comment was “whatever you do DON’T clean the keys… I felt like I needed a flu and maybe a tetanus shot after that one.

Best,
Jim

Hi Jim,



I never had anyone complain when I was at Illinois Wesleyan.  One professor made regular use of New-skin (is that what's it called?), but never said anything to me.  To tell the truth, I'm not sure that the keys had ever been cleaned before I got there. I'm surprised folks didn't stick to the keyboards.  They were totally gross.  I also used Key Brite to clean case parts where there was a big build up of grease/crud.

Hi Barb,

Do you ever have the pianists complain about the keys being too slippery with the Cory Key Brite? I did, to the point that I had to apply wax to make them have more friction. A good product, but only had that complaint. One faculty member especially… You always got one of those…

Best,
jim
