[CAUT] CX-21 hardwood keybuttons

[Jon Ralinovsky]

Hi Alan,
I find that the hardwood stays together very well. I just did a set 
of keys for a Yamaha C7 and I didn't have any problems. The only time 
wood seems to come off of key buttons is when there is soft wood 
(such as basswood) and there's not enough steam/DIF/your favorite 
solvent.

Respectfully,
Jon
