KEYBOARD MATERIAL AND RECOVERING
SCHAFF MOLDED KEYTOPS
Here are the key tops that have revolutionized the key recovering
industry. Easily fitted to most keyboards - can be filed for finishing to
exact size. Extra thickness makes it possible to cover all imperfections in
old keys, and insures against unevenness so often apparent when thinner
key covering material has been used. It will be possible for you to cover
many sets of keys with little or no final shaping. The beauty and
durability of the finished keyboard will command a higher price.
Produced in our own molds from acrylic plastic which is hard, scratchresistant
and durable. They will not discolor with age.

PIANO KEY RECOVERING & REPAIRS
Key recovering increases the value of used keyboard instruments and makes them easier
to sell. Let our Piano Key Shop recover your keys with Schaff’s Plastic Molded Keytops
either with or without fronts. We also replace sharps with either plastic or ebony and offer
complete rebushing, and key button replacement. (We do not recover waterfall type keys,
nor do we replace genuine ivory.)
Keyshop requests your removal of old ivory if you want to retain. When rebushing
services are requested, please provide the diameter or a sample of key pin. Also, our
shop will recover organ keys.
Before removing keys from the piano, number them between the key button and the
capstan. The #1 key is the lowest bass and #88 would be the highest treble. This helps
you when the recovered keys are to be reinstalled. Insure each set for $2,000.00.
Pack the keys well. Use a strong carton or key mailing case (stock #2668 on page 87) and
plenty of packing paper. Broken or lost keys are costly to replace and valuable time is
lost. Ship via UPS to our key shop.
Our Piano Key Shop is located in Rochester New York. Sending your keys direct to Rochester will save time - but don’t forget to
send the order to our Lake Zurich office. The shop will not proceed with recovering until a work order is received from Lake Zurich.
Address your keys to: Schaff Piano Key Shop, 55 Lois Street, Rochester, NY 14606. Send your order to: Schaff Piano Supply
Company, 451 Oakwood Road, Lake Zurich, IL 60047.
