removing key pins

[Elian Degen J.]

Again, let me put it in another way

Wood was live material,  as it looses watter volume shrinks, (wood volume)
as it shrinks, wholes, get bigger...

Because where I live it is a small place surrounded by mountains with high
humidity on the mountains and less humidity in the valley I made of this my
rule of thumb.  and it always worked, Does not matter what piano or piano
part I am working on,  when I take it to my shop first thing I do is get the
humidity level on what I know is the lower in the area I work.  After
hundreds of works I always noticed the same simptoms, and it always worked
right
