Yamaha C-7 Key Top ?

[Dave Smith]

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.

        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 .

        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 .

        Thanks for your information & tips .
