[pianotech] tape residue

[Mark Potter]

For tape residue... Goo Gone. Specifically formulated for this purpose (stickers, crayons, tape).  Available everywhere.  Goof Off, a good product, is specifically formulated for dried latex paint that ended up where it was not intended..

Howdy, 

I was having a look through the archives about removing tape goo from keytops and someone made a reference to a type of key that might get damaged by a solvent. Would that be those old celluloid keys? 

Does anybody remember what type of keytop is on a Betsy Ross spinet? I'm pretty excited to get to service one of these, I've heard so much about them (or her). ;-} 

Another question about those celluloid keytops. I have a customer with a Baldwin Monarch small upright with many--maybe all--chipped keys. She doesn't want to spring for new keytops, so I was thinking of just filing and making waterfall keys out of them. Will the celluloid file OK? 

Thanks,
