Hi gang:  Thanks for those of you who responded to my inquiry about the
cork-rubber gaskets; the information was really helpful.  Thanks!

As I said a short time back, I have finally found an art case Foster
like I have been searching for.  I got the video tape of the piano
yesterday.  It is well maintained and a nice old original instrument;
even the bass strings are still alive, and the piano seems to have good
potential.

The only bad thing is that the keytops are in bad shape.  Since this
piano is a keeper, I really don't want to put plastic keytops on this
instrument.  I feel they look cheap, not to mention the fact that a few
"Jerry Lee Lewis" rakes across the keyboard will permanently scratch
plastic keytops.  I do have an old Foster I have been parting out
(ruined soundboard) which has a perfect set of ivory keytops.  I doubt
that the whole set of keys would interchange -- they rarely do.

Is there any way to remove these keytops without ruining them?  I was
thinking if I could do this without damaging them, I could recover the
keyboard on the art case Foster with the 'real' thing.  Also, what is
the best glue to use?  To my knowledge, nobody sells real ivory
anymore.

Thanks in advance
Andy Taylor
