[CAUT] key lead hole filler

[Stan Kroeker]

David,

Do you mind sharing why you wish to fill these holes?  Cosmetic  
reasons?  The original key leads didn't strengthen the key, tamped  
into their holes.  I don't believe wood filler does, either.  I re- 
balanced a Steinway 'D' (according to Steinway specs) several years  
ago that had lead on both sides of the balance rail.  Afterwards, the  
keys were riddled with holes (I simply call them 'lead-holders') and  
the action played beautifully.

Regards,
