Hello
This if my first post on this forum and a question if I may. I am about to replace the black keytops on my piano with a better quality plastic set, but I am unsure what is the best adhesive to use. Lots of USA based sites say PVC-E - but I can't find it for sale in the UK?
Any advice would be gratefully received!

Re: Replacing black key tops
Impact adhesive will do the job.
Best to create a 'hinge' for each key top with masking tape.
Then level them up afterwards

Re: Replacing black key tops
why not get a set of second hand ebony tops.?
Even get yourself an ancient piano fit for the dump and you will probably find it has ebony sharps
