[CAUT] slipping key slip

[Jeannie Grassi]

Susan,

That's what I was thinking, too.  The piano has been nicely restored (for a
change) and was refinished about 10 years ago, so it looks pretty nice,
still.  The refinisher did not have woodworking skills, however.  This does
not look like recent damage.  It is a result of PMS (post moving syndrome as
Isaac calls it) and just old age.  This last move finally did it in.  I want
it to be functional as well as nice looking.  

 

I have the woodworking skills.I guess what I was wondering was if anyone had
invented a better mouse trap.

I greatly favor the repair Ron showed us, over this. 

I don't think that making an inlay on both sides would be too hard. One
could also inlay 1/4" brass instead of maple, held in by short flathead
screws, with the edges filed to bevels, but I would use wood instead, unless
the piano gets beat up a lot.

Apparently, only one side of the wedge is necessary.
