---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment 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.
