When I ordered a "keytop" from Steinway,?they sent me a plastic sheet about a foot square, and I was supposed to cut my own. I suggest you use a keytop you get from one of the supply houses. Chances are, it will look just like the others. If anything, you might have to trim it a little, but no more than if you had an "original" part.

Hi List, Does anyone have any spare Essex keytops available that they'd be willing to sell?? I'm afraid that the Steinway dealer in my area has none currently in stock, and they're on back order from Steinway NY.? A client of mine needs a replacement, and they'll only settle for the "real thing"!? I tried using a Schaff part, but the luster was different.? I tried a Boston keytop but the dimensions were slightly different.? Can anyone help me??
