Dear Pianotech listers, Although a bit late, I would like to react to this subject about empty key lead holes : If and when I work on an instrument which has holes in the keys from former technicians, I personally find it necessary to plug them with key wood. First of all, it leaves behind a nicer and cleaner feeling, secondly, more empty holes in one key might easily influence the former balance of levers and weights, and lastly, it gives us the opportunity to place a new and/or different key lead in the place of the former empty space. I think it looks better, it is more professional and it also leaves behind a better impression with the customer. my opinion (;>) Antares
