keytops

[MICHAEL MORVAN]

Hazen,
    I replace keytops as a business and in the shop I use milling machines 
to trim the keys and keytops, and I always have to use a file for the final 
shaping. What do you mean by "factory look?" and what type of contour are 
you looking for? Mike Morvan,  Blackstone Valley Piano
