In a message dated 98-12-22 03:07:15 EST, you write: << 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? John Pengelly Nelson, B.C. >> The Satin finish on the Kawaii is the same material as the high gloss finished pianos: polyester. You can use almost any grease removing cleaner to get rid of the smudges, like Windex, 409 or Fantastic. To be on the safe side, have her put some Windex on a rag, and try a littlle spot. But it should work. Willem Blees
