<DIV>I carry and use hand sanitizer at all times because you never know who last
sneezed, coughed or moused on/in the piano you're tackling. Moreover, I
teach as well and have EVERY student use sanitizer on their little hands before
EVERY lesson. ( I teach on an SD-10 with plastic keys and there's never
been an issue on keptops. ) I keep the bottle BEHIND the bench so that
students don't dispense into their hands over the keyboard or over anything else
and I teach them in the very beginning to be careful when applying.
If I ever do see any affect on the keytops, I'll post it . .
