    Hi All

    Odd request. Kawai model 701-C upright missing B below middle C key. Long story. Anyone got a junker set of keys that is willing to part with that entire key? Kawai does not have one. Although they have an electronic keyboard key, as well as a set of keytops. Got both of them in the mail over the past few weeks. (Don Mannino doesn’t work there anymore dang it 😬😬😬🤪). I’m looking for the entire key. Thanks in advance—especially if one of you have it. It’s about 30-40 years old

    Deb Legg duplicated a key for me, when I brought her the surrounding keys. Other "key people" can do the same for you. You'll probably need to glue in a balance rail insert to get it perfect (she & others will provide that as part of job).

    Dean Reyburn will, I believe, make an individual key to replace a missing key. Go to Reyburn Pianoworks.
