Yes, I suspect that the matt part of the finish is very thin. I got shiny spots near a couple of buttins that I press often, and I know that I have rested my fingers on the surface near those buttons. I tried to wipe of the shiny spots by using spectacle cleaner and a soft cloth, as people suggested, but the spots are still there. They can be seen only when the light falls at an angle on the surface, but still the same, I am not happy with that. To confort myself and others I can say that the spots show that we have really used the instrument, that it had a good life. But many people sell their old keyboards to get the next model, and in that case the marks only decrease the price, so not good....
