[CAUT] CX-21 hardwood keybuttons

[Ken Zahringer]

Hey, Alan,

Your terminology is unfamiliar.  By "hardwood", you are obviously not
referring to maple.  You appear to mean some sort of composition material,
like MDF.  If this is so, I wouldn't touch it, absent some explicit and
detailed instructions from the manufacturer.  Otherwise, I would sell them a
set of key buttons, or consider it a disposable piano.  Fortunately, I don't
have any personal experience with this sort of thing.

Regards,
Ken Z.
