Keytop Replacement

Keytop Replacements

Piano keys are made of wood with a durable top covering called a keytop. Originally made of Ivory and ebony, modern piano keytops are often made of various plastic compounds. Both the white and black keytops can be replaced to restore the beauty of your piano.

Piano keys are what we touch, feel, and connect with when playing the instrument. The pianist often develops a keen sense of touch and preference for certain types of keys. To keep the perfect performance, Ken Coleman's Piano Service offers professional keytop replacements for all clients throughout Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery Counties and the Main Line. To speak with Ken or to schedule an appointment, call today at 215-663-2393.

Ken has become our piano tuner on a regular basis. He is a talented, reliable, and courteous professional.

Signs Its Time To Replace

Keyboard Discoloration

Over time, your keyboard tops may start to lose their color and get a brown-yellow color on the white keys. This is from the climate being played, and time.

Chipped or Worn

Chipped or worn keys could make playing challenging or unpleasant. Your fingers have a particular feel of what the keys are meant to feel like. When they fall upon a worn-out or chipped key, it may throw you off.

Missing or Unglued

When keys are missing or loose, it can be impossible to play.

The five star reviews are spot on! Ken was absolutely fantastic. He's punctual, easy to communicate with and unbelievably knowledgeable about pianos.

He took great care with an old upright that hadn't been tuned in 23 years and got it back on the road to being a vibrant, playable instrument again. We still have some more repair work to do, but so far we're really pleased with his efforts.

I highly recommend Mr. Coleman for any piano repair or tuning job. His all around expertise is simply unmatched.

I reached out to Ken to have my recently gifted Sohmer Baby Grand tuned. The piano is well over 100 years old and who knows when it was last tuned. Ken was friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable. He explained the inner workings of the piano and we discussed tuning to 440 vs. relative tuning due to the age of my piano. I'm a musician so we also had time to chat about music in general. Ken's prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend him for all your piano tuning/repair needs.

I inherited a piano that had not been played or tuned in some 50 years, but is in excellent condition with no obvious repairs needed. Ken scheduled an appointment for the next day ( a well-timed cancellation), arrived promptly, and finished the tuning quickly. He was pleasant and professional. I plan to call him again in a few weeks for a follow-up tuning and thereafter as needed.

Ken was prompt, courteous and professional. My piano hadn't been tuned in YEARS and it sounds better now than it ever did. Great price. Highly recommend Ken Coleman!

Ken showed up on time and was very professional, fixed one of the hammers and tuned my 1957 Baldwin, SOUNDS GREAT. Price ended up being a little lower than what I expected. My grand-daughter loves the way it plays now. Will recommend to others.
