This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Zen, I encountered a Kawai with graying, discolored white keys. It turned out that the stain on the sharps was coming off on the fingers and then getting spread to the white keys. I replaced the black keys and I was able to buff the white keys so that they looked as good as new. However, that involved the typical abrasives used with a buffing wheel. Hope this helps, jeannie Jeannie Grassi, RPT Associate Editor, Piano Technicians Journal mailto:jgrassi@silverlink.net -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Z! Reinhardt Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 3:30 PM To: Pianotech Subject: Ivoritis Elsewhere? Friends: Has anyone else come to a case of ivoritis on a non-Yamaha piano? Classic signs -- white keys turning greyish, but it doesn't feel sticky the way most grunges would. Non-abrasives will not remove the stuff. The piano in question is a Boston 218 (pretty big). Any brilliant ideas? Thanks in advance -- Z! Reinhardt RPT Ann Arbor MI ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
