[pianotech] Rebushing Keys

I also agree with cost of time vs. cost of bushing material.

 Time is free, Bushing cloth is not. To a certain extent. So let me re-phrase that. If you have the time, it's "free".  

I would rather pay Steinway or Brooks, to hang a set of hammers, than take the time to do it myself. Not only because they do a better job, but for the amount of time I take to hang a set of hammers, I can do more productive things. 

But how much longer does it take to do a set of bushing with BM, as opposed to Spurlock. I haven't done a set for a long time, but it used to take me about two hours to rebush a set of keys with Spurlock. (Not counting drying time). Will the BM method save me an hour, or just 15 minutes?

I just did the same thing.  My Bushmaster arrived a few days ago.  Based on having used the spurlock system I think the BM will be faster.  I am going to try using Spurlock Cauls.  Although I am a few days away from doing the job I will let you know how it goes.  I also agree with cost of time vs. cost of bushing material.

I have been using the Spurlock method for rebushing key. I am now looking at the Bushmaster system sold by Pianotek in order to increase my speed. I'm sure I can still use my Spurlock cauls.


Any thoughts on which system is faster? Better?
