[pianotech] Twisted sticks

[Terry Farrell]

I have no doubt your idea is a good one Mike. But I'm having trouble envisioning exactly what you are describing. A "kerf" - you mean just a blade width - maybe 1 or 1.5 mm or so? "3/4 of the way through the key" - where? Perpendicular to the long axis of the key? Cut down from the top? Sorry I'm so dense!  ;-)

> I have another idea, I've done it before with great success, cut a kerf 3/4 of the way through the key in the oppisite angle of the twist, put some Titebond in the cut & clamp it end to end until the kerf closes on top.
> You will now have a straight or semi-straight key.
> I had a Baldwin spinet that had about 5 or 6 of these, fixed them all that way.
