What's the method of choice for removing ebony from the key.  Whereas I =
have generally used a chisel for taking off plastic sharps, the =
additional surface area of ebony sharps may produce some wood loss, =
which I would like to avoid.  It seems like maybe a band saw for the =
bulk of it followed by a sharp chisel might be the way to go.  Any =
suggestions. David Love

I use Elbezenoid Cortisanate mixed with two freshly plucked feathers =
from a Hondurian Phlet puppin and a little goose oil. Mix gently over a =
light open air stove, adding the Cortisanate carefully and only a little =
bit at a time do to its explosive nature. Let cool and place in an =
double open ended jar, chilly and dry for storage.=20
To use simply place a teaspoon on a 1X6X12 board with  as many black =
keys as you can comfortably space on the board. Cover with an aquarium =
or some such type semi air tight box and wait  6 to 7 weeks. They will =
fall off by themselves.... along with the bushing felt, and any damper =
lift felt that may be present. Be advised, Brass captans tend to turn =
purple, but the polish nicely afterwards.=20
