Well, I don't know. That's why I ask. Does the yellowing only occur on the 
surface? I assumed it was throughout the plastic, but I don't know for sure. 
If it is only on the surface, your approach may well be the best. Are you 
aware of the characteristics of the yellowing situation on the Yamaha key 
fronts?
