  Subject: Re: Balance Rail Holes - Worn


  Is there any danger using a hard-wood veneer like maple that it might be
noisy? Is there any preference to use something a little softer - like maybe
fine-grained spruce or poplar?

  > I have had great success repairing this type of damage using maple
veneer. Mount a balance rail pin in a scrap board, position key upside down
and saw a kerf the thickness of the veneer about 1/4 inch deep using the
balance rail pin as a guide. Glue the veneer in this kerf and you will have
a permanent repair.

  I've done this many times for 20 years with no noise problems from the
keys.
