Question
I have a Wurlitzer piano in fair to good condition, made in Dekalb, Illinois.  The serial number is 661746.  I would like to know year and value estimate. Also, I previously had used masking tape on the keys to identify the keys, yup afraid so, I need to know what solution to use to remove the residue left behind after removing the tape itself.  I did not want to damage the keys further, so the residue has been there for many years.  Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts.

Your piano was manufactured in 1960. To remove the scum, i'd use a regular grade cleaner, if the keys are plastic, no serious damage will be done.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
