Any >suggestions on that one? I've sometimes fiddled with keys or other parts which have large cavernous hollows where wood is missing by building up a little surround of masking tape, and laying 5-minute epoxy into it, trying to smooth it as flat as possible. After 1/2 hour or so to set up, one can take off the tape, and then sand it flat with the surrounding keystick. Welcome to the list, Anne. I've found piano technology to be an endlessly interesting field, which only expands and gets richer as one explores it. Like playing the piano, working on pianos seems capable of filling a whole lifetime. Susan
