Ladies and gents,

I just got through with a job for a really picky customer who had complained 
about "chipped" keys on an RX2 Kawai.  I suspected glue on the sides of the 
keytops, and when I got there, I found that I was right.  

I took some very fine sandpaper and took it off.  Unfortunately, in my 
enthuiasm, I took a some of the shine off of a bit of the keytop....:-(.  Luckily, I 
had some Flitz metal AND fiberglass polish with me.  After trying it on a 
dummy keytop I'd brought along as a guinea pig with great results, I used it on 
the offended key and voila!  Shiny as a new penny!  Mr. Picky was satisfied, at 
least with the keys..was I surprised to get a call from him an hour later 
saying that "E above middle C is out of tune?"  

Like many people who can't help but focus too much on small things, it's hard 
to for them to see the big picture.

Nonetheless, I learned a new use for a familiar product.  Versatile stuff, 
that Flitz.
