I hope you're not trying to do that on the original ebony sharps. I wonder what the color would come out like. Seems like you'd have to make new sharps with something like maple if you wanted to dye them. Paint, on the other hand, is a different story.

Hello List, I find myself needing to re-dye a set of sharp keys. Any advice? Aniline dye in alcohol? Follow with a wash coat of shellac? Any better ideas/ways?? Thanks, Edward Farmer
