Susan, That's what I was thinking, too. The piano has been nicely restored (for a change) and was refinished about 10 years ago, so it looks pretty nice, still. The refinisher did not have woodworking skills, however. This does not look like recent damage. It is a result of PMS (post moving syndrome as Isaac calls it) and just old age. This last move finally did it in. I want it to be functional as well as nice looking. I have the woodworking skills.I guess what I was wondering was if anyone had invented a better mouse trap. jeannie _____ From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Susan Kline Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 4:42 PM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] slipping key slip I greatly favor the repair Ron showed us, over this. I don't think that making an inlay on both sides would be too hard. One could also inlay 1/4" brass instead of maple, held in by short flathead screws, with the edges filed to bevels, but I would use wood instead, unless the piano gets beat up a lot. Susan Kline Apparently, only one side of the wedge is necessary. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
