Removing key fronts

[Jude Reveley/Absolute Piano]

Ahh that's good news. I didn't realize a standard flourescent "Disco" 
blacklight would do the trick. This also gives me an alternative source of 
revenue if I open up the shop at night as a dance club. I was looking at 
mega versions of the ones used for identifying counterfeit money or for 
curing. thanks JD.
