Yamaha now has someone in the USA that does their keytop replacement to their satisfaction. I'm picking up a set of Ivorite keys in a couple of days and shipping them in some sort of "special" box to that person. Haven't seen the box yet...

Brett, try calling Yamaha piano service at 1 800 854 1569. They had a problem with the original Ivorite keytops and may be willing to work with you on replacing them. They can tell you if the 1989 C7 was subject to this problem. I restrung a C7 c. 1985 after Hurricane Charley in Florida and Yamaha was willing to replace the badly stained keytops. Being on Maui may present some problems,however, if they dont have a qualified keytopper in the area.

I have a Customer with a C-7 made in 1989 . She teaches piano & the keys are stained from dirty little fingers . She is about the 3rd owner of this piano so I doubt Yamaha will replace the tops . Any ideas about how to clean them and possibly seal them . They look like they have been sanded down in the past . The teacher takes an eraser to them and some of it comes off . But it comes right back . Thanks for your information & tips . Brett Glass A Sharp Piano Service Maui -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
