Hi, I would like to know if the two sets of keys (plastic and Wood) can be switch, i would like to put plastic keys on a Wooden key Rhodes?

I'll like to have better action on my wooden key rhodes, it seems that the keys take humidity and they touch (lightly) each other...

thanks in advance!

The keys are *NOT* interchangeable.  The guidepins on the balance rail and the front guide are not in the same positions and will not fit.

I learned this the hard way when I bought a set of wood keys to replace the plastic ones.
