To curl or Not to curl

[Richard Brekne]

Hi folks

Back to this wonderfull tendency of keyframe frontrails to
curl upwards on the ends. Now on S&S this is part of the
design, and you have these wonderful brass inserts in the
cheekblocks to force the keyframe down tight to the keybed.
These brass inserts come complete with a pinned roller for
the keyframe side pins to facilitate keyframe movement when
shift pedal is engaged. They also provide a nice (treble
end) easy way of adjusting the hammer strikeline in or out.

What I am curious about is whether or not it is a smart idea
to retrofit other pianos with this kind of insert. Any
ideas, thoughts ?
