For sure they are made initially like that by convenience, but the L shape is really adding something (firmness, rigidity). it helps the key not to wobble so much particularly when a little old. A very thin sensation I may confess, but the lasting of the job is better, to the point I produce inverted L shape when bushing keys without the lateral aperture . Only with this way you can regulate the balance hole so the key looks to be slowly going down on the pin. I bet you are joking with the material question, you may not use the Bushmaster tool then ! And I am still on the process to use leather for schools, a study is made (mixed bushings on the same keyboard ) Best regards. Isaac OLEG Entretien et réparation de pianos.
