Disklavier

Bob,

I assume you have a black so-called ebony (actually polyester) finish. 
The mit or cloth by itself is not likely to remove grease, but instead, 
smear it. I'd first try a soft cloth like a diaper or an old T-shirt 
with Yamaha's liquid polish on it.  If that doesn't work, try some 
Windex and a cloth.  If that still doesn't do it, call the dealer. In 
the meantime, decontaminate your mit with a gentle washing with soap and 
warm water.

To help keep the inside of the piano clean, close the lid when you are 
not using the piano.  You can use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to 
get at the accessible places.  Buy a length of 1/4" or 3/8" plastic 
tubing.  Put a small dust cloth over the end of the tube and attach it 
to the tube with a wooden plug in the tube opening.  Run the tube and 
cloth between the sound board and strings.  My piano tech offered to 
blast the interior and escapement of my piano using his air compressor. 
 That might have worked. However, not wishing to send the drapes to the 
cleaners, I declined.
