Does anyone know how to remove candle wax from keys?  I went to tune a
piano yesterday and the customer said, "yea, I accidentally spilled
candle wax on the the keys, I've been trying to get some of it off."

It is a mess... about 4 octaves of the keyboard covered with wax. made
for an interesting tuning! Has anyone ever removed candle wax and know
how to remove it from keytops?  Thanks in advanced!
