Chinese keyslip

[Barbara Richmond]

Hi Scott,

Move the whole keyframe back a smidgeon--  Loosen the keyframe screws, put 
cardboard/paper key punchings between the front rail and the keyslip until 
you get enough clearance.  Tighten the screws.

You probably won't have to move it much, but you do have to make sure there 
is enough clearance at the back of the sharps, too.

who had to do this just last week to a Kawai
near Peoria, IL
