I have an idea for you, 4 years I bought a Roland digital harpsichord http://www.8thstreet.com/prod.asp?pid=9056 As you can see it's got black keys that are very cool and what appears to be white "accidentals". When I picked it up I discovered the white keys were actually a horribly uncool light grey. So, I went to the hardware store and bought some white vinyl adhesive tape. I very carefully stretched the vinyl tape over the top surface of each ugly grey key and trimmed any excess off the sides with an Xacto knife. They still look great, haven't slipped, and since the tape is vinyl are easy to clean. Maybe you can get some black vinyl tape and cover the surface of the white keys so every key is...none more black...voila, death metal killboard!
