Exactly! I had to replace keytops on some damaged five-year-old (or so) Yamaha keys. A little heat gun and they just fell off. The little bit of glue residue can be scraped away very easily while the key/glue is still warm.
When you try it, just be ready to clean the glue off the top of the wood because that keytop will come off quicker and easier that you can imagine!

Assuming they're plastic, just apply a heat gun and start "pealing" away!

GERALD, Seeing that you have just recovered a set of keys on a Samick piano, can you tell me how you removed the old ones please? I have to replace some keytops on a new Kawai that have been damaged, and don't know what to expect if I apply heat, or just start carving away!!
Cheers.
