Sounds like it would be less work to rebush the key Dean Dean W May (812) 235-5272 PianoRebuilders.com (888) DEAN-MAY Terre Haute IN 47802 _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of reggaepass at aol.com Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 6:18 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] vs profelt Haven't found myself in the particular scenario you describe, but have used V S Profelt on somewhat worn key bushings, after a light steaming (and, in some cases, needling of compacted area a la Steve Brady's method), and followed by cauls of appropriate size overnight. Overkill? maybe, but effective.

I serviced a piano yesterday that had recently rebushed keys and the cauls used were too big. No wear at all on the cloth and all were consistantly loose both front and center . I don't have the action in the shop yet and I will experiment tonight on some old keys ,but would also appreciate any feedback from your collective experience. It would be nice to not have to rebush . Thanks, Tom D. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
