Sticky ebony keytops?

[Bec and John]

Hi,

I agree, the wood hue is acceptable, nice even. I recall a newer Mason 
and Hamlin which had the 1/3 top part of the ebony keys "natural" 
colour but the remaining 2/3 part black. It was very pretty.

Ron, do you recommend no finish at all?

Thanks everyone for your responses!
