I usually try a not so sharp knife beginning at the back of the=
 keytop and usually it comes right off.  It isn't glued on with=
 epoxy.

Hi Dave,
                  Two thicknesses of brown paper, and a clothes=
 iron, will get the plastic nice and hot, and will not discolor=
 the wood.    It should just peel off with good knife.

Regards Roger

HI list, 

This question was asked a few days ago, but the thread ended up=
 being about gluing tops on. 

The piano is a SAmick made Kohler and Campbell.  It is maybe 15=
 years old.  One keytop got broken in a recent move. 

So what sayeth you all?  Steam/Iron?  Heat Gun?  Other methods?  =
 

This is an in-home job(long drive, store warranty work), so using=
 large power tools is not an option. 

Thanks.  Sorry if I missed something on the last thread!
