Dear Mr. Avery, Mr. Ross, et all. Ridiculing people for being clean is crude, and says nothing good about yourselves. Besides making pianos sound and play as well as I can, I like to make them look and smell as clean, if possible, as the day they left the factory. There is nothing wrong with that. It is commendable. Additionally, as a professional performer, I can tell you that it is much harder to get into a "reverie" conducive to beautiful music if you have greasy, smelly, slimy crap on your fingers, of mysterious origin, left there by the last user. As I would not hand a person a Kleenex(TM) I had just sneezed into, neither will I sell them a piano with black scum on the sides of the keys. It is simple decency. A concept you should perhaps acquaint yourself with.
