It's on there to stay in the Petrof= 115 model studios. I'll bet the piano in question is a 115,= (newest models now called 116s, I believe). Since key= interference with the keyslip is the problem, and since moving= the keyslip is not an option, it's a simple matter to nudge the= keys rearward just a hair by shimming the keyframe away from the= keyslip. This is what my procedure describes. For the meticulous in the crowd, yes this might add a few grains= of down weight because of the capstan movement. If this is= unacceptable to you, by all means, gather your planers, chisels,= sanders and polyester repair kit and reduce the thickness of the= keyslip. If, on the other hand, you want an effective, 20-minute repair,= shim back the keyframe.

I "thought" we were talking about= removing the key slip. Weren't we? :-) Avery At 11:32 AM 6/16/04, you wrote: Jerry, I just did this less than a week ago. It worked beautifully= without affecting anything else. 1. Remove case parts. 2. Remove keys 3. Loosen keyframe screws (8) 4. Place shims (I used business card slivers) between keyframe= and keyslip. 5. With the shims in place, tighten keyframe screws. 6. Replace keys and case parts. Time required: 20 to 30 minutes.

A couple of the Chinese pianos= have the same arrangement. Makes for interesting adjustments= when the keys hit the keyslip. Now there's a use for the 9 pound sledge.
