<< Hi List:
 Had a distraught customer just contact me regarding her 1 year old running a 
 magic marker across about ten ivories on her gorgeous Steinway.  What have 
 any of you used to remove said problem?  (it might be a "highlight" pen 
 instead of magic marker).  
 I  told her  I would present this "to the world"- and she was impressed (i 
 hope).  Will see her piano on Friday.  Thanks in advance.

Any cleaner that will dissolve magic market solution might work. I had a 
similar situation 15 years ago, but nothing took all of it out. Ivory, being 
porous material, soaks up the ink. We tried sanding it out, but we wound 
sanding all the way through the ivory, and still saw some of the ink.

Good luck.
