sharp key reattachment cause of breakage

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Seeing the request for proper repair reminded me that most of the time we
see detached sharps, the cause is the player
or other individual that is unaware of how to play a glissando, without
causing damage to the key button or breaking off a sharp. Too much side
pressure and wear of the bushings from using the sharps results in damage to
the piano.
The sharp is never used except for the first and last of the run, or so Im
told.
