Unless you want to replace all those plastic valve blocks as well and then fight with the tubing to feed it through the keybed. Unless you have a customer with very deep pockets, or more ambition than sense, or just an awful lot of time on your hands... It will be time consuming enough to get it functioning as a piano without the aggravation of the 'disposable' player action. Keep a good thought.
