Greetings,

 

My client has a Schafer & Sons VS-52 upright that they kept in a rental
home.  When that rental didn't turn out well, the renters decided to damage
the piano. They reached in through the top and broke off a bunch of hammers
along the shank and twisted and broke a bunch of butt flanges in the
process, as well. It's a schwander type action so they didn't break any of
the hammer butts with the plates, but just the flanges. Most of this stuff
is pretty straight forward.

 

However, they also took permanent marker and wrote on every single white
keytop. I know someone had a fix for getting permanent marker off of the
plastic keys. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Additionally, I'm trying to write up an estimate to clean the keys. If
someone has experience with just how long it takes to get permanent marker
off that would help, too. Or any methods using power tools to speed the
process...  :-)

 

Thanks,

 

Regards,

 

Rob McCall
