Dear list,

The paper/plastic coating on my register key pad is starting to peel
off......

OR, how difficult is it to find a simple replacement pad via a local music
store...is this something that is fairly standardized and they might have
in stock or would that route involve a long arduous process?

Ryan....you must have the pad replaced. There is no "repair" for a pad,
especially as bad off as this one is.

Find a local repairman....he/she can fix this in a minute and also check for
other pads that might be going bad. Chances are that others will need
replacement too. Be prepared for that.

Some music stores carry limited repair supplies, most do not.You can order
pads etc. from WW&BW in a variety of kits, or order directly from a supplier.
The one I like most is Valentino. They are very accommodating and have
EXCELLENT products.

Their number is 1-800-886-PADS.

Remember that replacing pads is a much more involved task than just gluing one
in. If you need more info on pad replacement research Sneezy.

Good Luck
