[CAUT] front rail delemna

[Ken Zahringer]

I believe if I had to deal with that particular problem, I would go to the
table saw and slice an angled piece out of each cheek block, make a couple
of angled blocks for the keyslip, and fix it up a la Yamaha & Kawai.  I
haven¹t seen one of those wear out yet.

Flamesuit on & secured,
Ken Z.
