for Flitz</FONT></FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT lang=0=
face=Verdana size=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="12"><BR>Ladies=
and gents, <BR><BR>I just got through with a job for a really=
picky customer who had complained about "chipped" keys on an RX2=
Kawai. I suspected glue on the sides of the keytops, and=
when I got there, I found that I was right. <BR><BR>I=
took some very fine sandpaper and took it off.=
Unfortunately, in my enthuiasm, I took a some of the shine=
off of a bit of the keytop....:-(. Luckily, I had some=
Flitz metal AND fiberglass polish with me. After trying it=
on a dummy keytop I'd brought along as a guinea pig with great=
results, I used it on the offended key and voila! Shiny as=
a new penny! Mr. Picky was satisfied, at least with the=
keys..was I surprised to get a call from him an hour later=
saying that "E above middle C is out of tune?" =
<BR><BR>Like many people who can't help but focus too much on=
small things, it's hard to for them to see the big picture.=
<BR><BR>Nonetheless, I learned a new use for a familiar product.=
Versatile stuff, that Flitz. <BR><BR>Dave=
