Hi list -

Thanks to everybody for your suggestions a few weeks ago regarding
removing scratches from white keytops. The scratches on this piano were
fairly light, but had collected dirt so they were more a cosmetic problem
than a touch/feel problem. I decided to try the suggested Turtle Wax
polishing compound & scratch remover. WOW - this stuff is awesome! Having
never used anything like it, I was concerned that it would be too abrasive
and dull the shine on the keytops, but it worked beautifully. In fact,
just for giggles, I ended up polishing all 88 keys with it even though
only 6 of them had scratches, and the keyboard just gleamed. I will
definitely be using this product whenever I have a keyboard to spiff up.
Thanks again for the suggestion!

Scott
