Satin Finish

[Pengelly Pensionè]

 Hi folks,
A piano teacher acquaintance of mine who has a Kawai grand in a satin
finish was telling me
that she purposefully chose that finish because she didn't like the glossy
finish because it
shows up fingerprints. Lately she has been noticing that fingerprints are
leaving a shiny
smudge that are difficult to remove. Any suggestions?

> The "two turtle doves" were the Old and New Testaments - another gift

> The "three French hens" were faith, hope and love - the three gifts of
> the Spirit that abide (I Corinthians 13).
> 
> The "four calling birds" were the four Gospels which sing the song of
> salvation through Jesus Christ.
> 
> The "five golden rings" were the first five books of the Bible also
> called the "Books of Moses."
> 
> The "six geese a-laying" were the six days of creation.
> 
> The "seven swans a swimming" were "seven gifts of the Holy Spirit." (I
> Corinthians 12:8-11, Romans 12, Ephesians 4, 1 Peter 4:10-11)
> 
> The "eight maids a milking" were the eight beatitudes.
> 
> The "nine ladies dancing" were nine fruits of the Holy Spirit.

> The "ten lords a-leaping" were the Ten Commandments.

> The "eleven pipers piping" were the eleven faithful disciples.
