Chinese keyslip strategy

For clarification- it is a newer vertical, there is no name anywhere in or on the instrument.  No idea who the mfr. is, and the store that sold it is out of business and the owner deceased.  So, any warranty is out the window.  

I like the idea of moving the keyframe back, and I will investigate that as plan A.  

Roman numeral II - I will also try to shim something between the front rail and the slip, if that is possible.  

Cutting is out of the question.  The finish is really pretty nice, and I don't want to be the one to take a saw to it. 

There are no cheek blocks.  The slip is glued to the keybed, and veneered and finished with the actual cheek.  

I'm a little nervous about planing down the inside of the slip, but I will leave that as option #3.

Thanks to all who answered,

Scott
