Re: [CAUT] Disinfecting KeysHave you thought on trying the rubber finger coverings, that are used to shuffle paper, or count the wads of money you get from tuning. :-) John M.

I used to have splitting fingers from test blows before we moved to a humidified environment. My solution was like Ron's, except I would cut a finger-wide 2" long piece of soft cloth and place it in a "U" over my finger tip. Then wrap with tape to form a sock which could be reused for many tunings. I had socks for the three middle fingers I use in test blows. I tried cutting finger tips off a stretchy pair of gloves to make socks, but found them useless because the seams caused pain as they were right on the striking surface.

Works really well for cleaning and it gives me a good feeling about avoiding germs but that might not stand up in court. Blood on the keys!? Probably a colorful story behind that...

Isopropyl alcohol removes black from sharps and Cory cleaner doesn't say it disinfects. -Mike Jorgensen Christopher D. Purdy R.P.T. School of Music, Ohio University Rm. 311, Robt.
