Seems like replacing the keytop is the best bet. It isn't difficult, as long as you have a good color match. Steinway catalogs stuff pretty well, from what I gather, so they should have a a good match. Heat gun, sharp knife, PVC-E glue and the correct key are about all you'll need.

I have used it without adding titanium oxide and the patch is indeed yellow.

Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- What's the latest, best repair for a chipped keytop? This is a small notch in the center of the key lip. It's on a Steinway D in a good theater. Haven't done this recently so I need an update on the latest technology. gekallberg at aol.com ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
