Bleaching Keys

I mentioned a while back that sunlight seems to be the best way to bleach the keys back to their (nearly) white color.  Here are a few more photos showing the difference between the bleached and unbleached keys.  

Since taking these photos, I have placed both manuals and all the stop tabs in the greenhouse for bleaching.  After a summer in the sun, they all match and I think they are as white as they are going to be.  Overall, I am very pleased.  I plan to spend some time over Christmas break replacing the felt bushings as needed so I can get the keys back in the console.  I am also ready to send the stop tabs off for re-engraving.

Here's a few more pictures, more of the same:
