Wood Specie Insert for Capstan

[David Nereson]

Since the original keys on almost all pianos are (sugar or other type of) pine, why not just use pine?  I would think the critical thing would be drilling the proper size hole for the capstans so they won't be too tight or too loose.  When you say "pushing in a capstan," is that literal, i.e., are you driving them in like a nail or a tuning pin?  I can't believe you are, but why that wording?
