Not all of us have the luxury, or clientele to pay for, of the painstaking
restoration of vintage instruments. Most of the time it's to offer the
customer a new playing surface for some crapola piano on which
they don't want to dump a lot of cash into.

Most of these pianos won't outlive the new keytops anyway.
