Me, I retrofit using a brass =B3dowel=B2 with pins on both ends. Dowel cut
from 1/4=B2 (or so) brass rod, pins are bridge pins driven into appropriate
holes. Saves the trouble of drilling a bigger hole through the keybed (I
first did it when a customer freaked out at the thought of drilling a hole
in her piano.=20
The wood dowel with punchings glued on each end works great, perhaps
better than a pinned dowel. But to save time and effort, I found going to a
smaller diameter pitman and adding pins was quite adequate for the purpose.
Brass rather than wood because I didn=B9t trust the strength of smaller
diameter wood.

A mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.
