Ron, I thought about this... I remember you talking about this quite a while ago but I wasn't sure which area of the key to whittle. Your picture tells all. Thanks... I have a follow-up tuning in about 3 weeks. I'll bring my whittling knife and get to work. Thanks again!

I've done it dozens and dozens of times, and it has always helped. It's not the warp, and you have slop in the pin fit, which means you're already too deep into details for diagnosis and have to make stuff up to account for it. Take three steps back and fix the key balance and you'll fix the problem. > > Ron N > <key balancing.jpg>
