CraigT Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 So, I've got this S90ES at home. I have a small annoyance with the keys being somewhat slick. Somehow real piano keys seem to have some grip to them and I find easier to play stride. Is there some solvent that will clean plastic keys, make them less slippery but not discolor or otherwise damage them? Water ain't doin' it.

Bartolomeo Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 It works best just to play them a lot. They should be fine after a few hours of practicing. Don't let your wife near them with the Lemon Pledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOPBEEPER Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yeah I Dig. Ive often thought of taking some 0000 grade (lubed with some perspex pollish) steel wool to the keys on my Yamaha U3 but Ive never ive not got around to it. What actualy happens is; greasy fingers on the shiny surface makes it feel a bit 'sticky' Talcum powder is one solution but the best is Ivory keys I are an *******(CENSORED) too.

Bridog6996 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 There was a famous pianist (can't for the life of me remember who it was) who always came out on stage with a little spray bottle of hairspray. After sitting down at the piano, he would, with a dramatic flourish, spray a light mist of hairspray in the air above the keyboard and allow it settle on the keys. The idea was that it would make the keys a little tacky, and it sort of became his "thing." I want to say it was Rachmaninoff, but that doesn't seem right. Anyway, that's one idea, although I'm not sure it's the best idea when using an electronic instrument. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was really more of a manly gesture, if that's possible with hairspray. Either way, it was someone before Liberace's time.

jimw Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I sometimes have the same problem. I always wonder if it's the keys, or my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finale Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Probably Paderewski. One pic is worth a thousand words. http://www.info-regenten.de/regent/regent-d/pictures/poland-paderewski-1.jpg He certainly could use a whole hairspray bottle per concert. 99% for the hair and the last shot for the keys.
