_______________________________________________

AFAIK never used in a sentence.

(HQ 10.2:8):  The "finger verbs" are used when talking about specific ways of using a particular device (weapon, computer control panel, even musical instrument)
 
(KGT 75-76):  A third category of Klingon instrument is the {SuSDeq}, the windbag or bellows type. ... For one form of {SusDeq}, the {may'ron}, the player stretches the bag out to fill it with air and squeezes it together to empty it while directing the flow of air by pressing buttons mounted on boards on either end of the bag, much like an accordion. To finger the {may'ron} [accordion, concertina]--that is, to push the buttons--is to {Heng}, the same word applied to the {meSchuS}. 

Since Klingons consider the piano a type of {may'ron} - and it has keys to push or press - {Heng} seems appropriate here too.
