<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Brett, try calling Yamaha piano service at 1
800 854 1569. They had a problem with the original Ivorite keytops and may
be willing to work with you on replacing them. They can tell you if the
1989 C7 was subject to this problem. I restrung a C7 c. 1985 after
Hurricane Charley in Florida and Yamaha was willing to replace the badly stained
keytops. Being on Maui may present some problems,however, if they
dont have a qualified keytopper in the area.</FONT></DIV>

<P>Aloha To All, Wet & Rainy Here . I have a Customer with a C-7
made in 1989 . She teaches piano & the keys are stained from dirty
little fingers . She is about the 3rd owner of this piano so I
doubt Yamaha will replace the tops .</P>
<P>Any ideas about how to clean them and possibly seal them . They look
like they have been sanded down in the past . The teacher takes an
eraser to them and some of it comes off . But it comes right back .</P>
<P>Thanks for your information & tips .</P>
