My trusty old piano has seen a lot. It's time for a deep clean and restoration.

This instrument originally was my grandmother's and four generations of hands have pressed keys on it.

@AceArsenault similar situation here. How do you clean the ivories?

@WilliamHeath That's a beautiful instrument!

Best way to clean the keys is with something really light and soft.

Stay far far far away from anything abrasive on the keys. Else you'll be wheel buffing each one to get the finish right again.

@AceArsenault
What a treasure! 🥰

@shaulawalko Thanks Shaula! : }

It's been in the family for a while. One of my kids will end up with the piano after I pass.

@AceArsenault what an incredible history 💛✨🎹

@ambergrey Thank you! : }

Long ago, I once put sharpie marker on the side of this piano when I was like 4 years old. I liked it so much that I tried writing my name on it and made random shapes on the underside. Now 35 years later I'm trying to sand and buff out the markings little me left behind. *LOL*

@alistairfontaine Thanks, I finished applying the last coat of finish last night.

It's turning out amazing! : }

@AceArsenault Now you're going to make some iconic music. We should definitely do a song together one time
@alistairfontaine Awesome, a collaboration could be fun. : }
@AceArsenault oh shoot. I realized this app doesn't have messaging. Where can I contact you?
