The new ones would have a very smooth finis, so I doubt anything would take. Sand the 2 new ones with 1000 grit water paper, then they would have a better chance of taking your stain. How about sanding them all, with say 1000 grit waterpaper, they might even match. I don't know, if I would put your iodine mixture on them all? I have never tried any of the above, but if I was faced with your problem, they would be my choices. Or would it work to sell a keyjob, depending on the condition of the others, and of course would the piano warrant it? John M.

What is the best? I tried an iodine mixture but it would wipe off, even the next day. Someone with a home brew?
