How do I get Sharpie off of my piano keys? I regret it and the more I try to clean it the worse it gets. I've tried alcohol, putting dry erase marker over it and taking that off, nail polish remover, and none of it seems to work at all other than taking a little off or smearing it more. How can I take it off?

There are just too many "things/products" for removing Sharpie but few that say it is safe for piano keys.
There is a piano forum here and apparently it's more common than you think.
Some suggestions were rubbing alcohol, toothpaste, and baby wipes.

Also you have to make sure that they are plastic v ivory before trying anything too drastic
I'm a pianist and I use toothpaste with a microfibre cloth :)
Thank you for the advice to use a microfibre cloth on the piano keys to remove ink,it works well!
I have removed a sharpie mark with WD-40. I can't remember what it was on but it wiped right off. I don't think it would hurt to put a little on a cloth and try it on the keys.
Find someone with a Norwex rag - the fine silver wound-in is shockingly powerful against nearly any surface stain.
