I think that snorting Coke on a clean shirt counts fine. :>)

The Bundy you describe sounds a bit like a couple of old ones we had at a
music store where I once worked, but on ours ALL the keys were covered like
the thumb hole on yours. We had some old Vitos like this as well, but the
Bundys also had the Mazzeo System and the Vitos the comparable Stubbins
system, in addition to the covered keys.
