Not the way we do it. Also, this is at a school, using semi-skilled student labor paid for by work-study wherever possible--one person hits the bushings of a key with steam, passes it to another armed with a single needle voicing tool, and then finally to the Profelt-er. It goes about as quickly as the three of them can pass the keys.

Overkill? maybe, but effective.

I serviced a pianoyesterday 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 frontand center . I don't have the action in the shop yetand I will experiment tonight on some old keys ,but would also appreciate anyfeedback from your collective experience. It would be nice to not have torebush .
