I think it was common (but not universal) practice to put cotton tape round the levers as shown in my photo.
No, I'm not going to apply shellac. I've always thought the slightly absorbent nature of this tape to be desirable - if I wanted something impervious I'd use different tape. So, chacun a son gout.
