This an old upright?

Key height is fairly critical for proper regulation of the action, including the all-important aftertouch, and generally how the keys look and how they "feel" while being played.

Are you a budding piano tech? If so, now is the time to learn all about this. If not, now is the time to call a PTG tech in your area. (Where do you live?)

I have a few missing keytops on my old practice piano.  I noticed that on some of the keys without the tops, a thin piece of wood that was once glued to the top of the keystick, has come loose.  Now, there are others where that thin piece of wood is splintered and some are missing.
First of all, I hope you all know what I am talking about, and second, can someone please give me the proper term for this "thin piece of wood glued over the keystick" as I feel pretty dumb explaining it this way.
Thirdly, how does one go about to repair such a problem so that I can put new tops on?
Mucho Gracias!
Matthew
