Not unless they're fired with enough force!  :wsh:

Brasso is surprisingly, in case anybody's interested, good for cleaning ivory.

Tip from my piano tuner for looking after my (elderly) piano keys. :thup:

Well its a duff job - 15 mins + of ball swirling with cerium oxide has made no impression.  For anyone trying this at home a good piece of advice is to tape the stopper on first otherwise it jumps out of the decanter hits it on the way down resulting in a star burst to the decanter and the stopper :-(
