Not all venues are air conditioned. I noticed that when playing without a.c. the keys feel somewhat tacky. I wont use any polishes or cleaners other than a dampened cloth with Windex to clean the keys.

While at an outdoor concert on Memorial day the Celtic band had a terrific violinist that played an electric violin with multiple foot pedals for effects. Every so often he would rub Gold Bond powder (talc) to absorb moisture from his hands. Seemed to work. His fingers were flying.


Any other suggestions?
