Good evening, I will be sending a set of keys to Leon for top/front replacement this week. I just wanted to ask your opinions. The piano is a 1948 Baldwin M. The whites are chipped, some are missing, etc. The sharps actually look fairly good. Now, I was first just going to request whites only. Leon uses the molded tops/fronts. Then I realized that quite possibly when I got them back and matched them up with the sharps (which are ebony), the sharps wouldn't look so good, and may look like I should of had the sharps replaced as well. My final conclusion as of now, is to have the off-white German tops/fronts and to have the ebony sharps refinished. The refinished definitely won't be the high gloss the plastics give. Is there a particular white key/sharp combo that would look the best? Or is this stupid? Thanks!
