worn keys

[Baldwin Yamaha Piano Centre]

Hi Stephane,
                        We router off the required amount of material off 
the side, making sure the sides of the key stick is parallel, then build up 
the sides with iron on Birch veneer. The birch gives a nice clean white 
look to the key sides, and is much harder than the original material.
Hope this helps
Roger
