[CAUT] New flu info

Ed,

If we can verify this then "case closed! Use alcohol wipes if you feel a student has defiled your keyboard with some dreaded microbe". Sure would be a good thing.

Yes, me too. Put it in a spray bottle from the craft shop nor beauty counter in the drug store.

In rare cases of shellac based sharp dye (Kranich and Bach 1920? or such) you will see the color on the cloth and know to stop.

Chances of schools having old pianos with shellac are slim. A piano technician can identify them by testing.

I have used isopropyl alcohol for many years and have never seen any damage on the keys.  It's a good solvent and evaporates quickly and kills germs quickly.
