Thanks Hans,

These came to us "right out of the box" so it must have been some new
guy at the factory. Guess I'll have to buy a set of .125 (is that
right?) pins and start sizing all the new pianos...

Hi Jim,
The holes were drilled consistent at the factory (believe me) but
somebody later (maybe even in the factory) removed, pulled the keys the
wrong way. I have seen this many times.

Hi Joe,
=20
No, the holes aren't consistent. In fact, if you insert a "CF" tool you
see that sometimes the hole is oblong from top to bottom and sometimes
it is oblong side to side. I'm not sure what's happening.=20
=20
I know how to fix it, I'm just wondering why it is that way, and
frankly, our church buys thousands of these and I'm in a position to
influence them.=20

Regards,
Jim

Hi,
Any chance they forgot to chance drill sizes at the factory?
If all are the same oversize this seems like a posibility.

	List, (especially Don M.)

	We just bought 9 new UST7s and all the keys are pulley! Not a
huge amount, but not acceptable. I wanted to size them but the pins are
smaller than what I have on hand. (.125 ??)  However, just to let you
know how big the holes were some of the Yamaha pins would fit (.137)
	=20
	My question is, has anyone else noticed this, and am I being too
nitpicky. (since this is only a vertical for heaven's sakes...) Does
this amount of "pully-ness" really make that much of a difference in an
upright used mainly for non majors?
