It is quite annoying to play on warm/humid days! I'm not sure if they have been refinished. Does anyone have any ideas for a solution?" - John Silva John, Sounds like someone decided to "finish" the ebony with Linseed Oil! I'd take all the sharps off of the piano and give the ebony a thorough bath with mineral spirits/paint thinner. If it's something else, all bets are off.'
