I agree with Noreen=UOTTWA:Brush out the crud and oil the keys every now
and then, and forget about the shine unless your daddy is rich. When I
was attending The Citadel, the bandmaster was a Marine captain who
awarded points or demerits for appearance, so every few weeks I would
take all the keys off my old buffet and polish them with jewellers'
rouge. The keys would begin to get dull again in about three weeks. I
recommend polishing the keys only to someone who needs punishment or is
a little depressed.
