Sometimes you get lucky and the steam a knife or chisel will remove
the key fronts easily, but this unfortunately is not usually the case.

I copied a jig from Bill Spurlock for use with a router table which
seems to work well for removing key fronts. I often do keytop
replacement jobs for local piano technicians and have thoroughly
researched this.
