Greetings, 

             I had this problem with a brand new set of keytops that I 
replaced on an old grand piano at a church. I used PVC-E (Elmer's glue). It turned 
out that when I took 150 grit sandpaper to the underside of the new smooth 
plasic keytop and roughed it up a bit the glue worked fine.
