Nope... just making an idle comment since someone mentioned greasy guitars.

I carry little antiseptic "handi-wipes" in individual packets for cleaning 
the keys (and my hands) before I tune. It took four of them to clean the 
caked-on gunk on the ivory keys on a Chickering 1/4 grand the day I wrote that.
