I just performed a service call on an upright piano that had been "rebuilt" by one of our local butchers. Poor regulation, un-even key level, bad hammer shaping, key rebushing by replacing one or two here or there as the mood moved him and a butcher's job of recovering keys. (Although a real butcher probably could have done a better job of it.) Now to the subject of my post. Rebuilding the sides of keys that over the years or though poor recovering. I don't think that I've seen anyting on this in the Journal. I have suggested it as a class at our Arizona State PTG Seminar (which is usually the first weekend in January). I don't think that there is anyone in our chapter profecient in this skill. Anyone out there care to share on this topic?
