As I understand it, these solutions involve placing / gluing something or another in between the front of the key frame front rail and the key slip. If thats the case I see nothing elegant about the solution at all. Simple perhaps, but no more so then a more appropriate fix. If this was a good way of doing thing I am quite sure virtually every piano manufacturer would have some kind of similar thing built into their pianos from the get go. None do... and that should be a clue. If the thing it warped... unwarp it. Cheers RicB Matthew, Do what works, fella. Alicia's solution is elegant and simple. Folded up business cards are not so elegant, IMO, but they work too. Whatever. Pick your battles. I prefer what Alicia has suggested because it is smooth, adjustable and stable over the long term. If you use a card and choose to use a dab of glue I'd use PVC-E as opposed to CA. William R. Monroe
