A chapter member sent this photo to me. It's hard to imagine playing this piano. Paul C Subject: Prize Winning Worn Out Piano Keys -!!! These are keys from a piano that was recently "traded-in" and promptly hauled to the dump. It obviously took many years of playing to wear down the sharps and wear holes this deeply into the natural keys. It is very likely that the person who played this piano wore "porcelain" glue-on fingernail covers which are truly "hard-as-nails" and very abrasive to ANY type of keyboard covering. One-or-two glissandos across the keys with "porcelain" nail covers can hopelessly scratch new keys. If you look at the picture you can actually see grooves in the wood which are the same shape as the fingernails.
