Gina, Terry, et al. There was some attempt some time ago (don't remember which company) to do this, but I don't recall that it was very successful. On the other hand, I worked with Lane Miller (now in Louisiana, I believe), who had developed a system of bushing much like what used to be used at Kimball. His method employed hand-preglued strips of bushing cloth, pressed into place by a foot operated press operating a heated caul, then trimmed while the heat was applied, and then "set" with heated brass cauls for sizing. Very accurate. Very fast. And, lasted a good deal longer under _heavy_ institutional use than I would have thought. Lane had been working on a patent for the press contraption, so I don't want to give away his store. On the other hand, if I were doing very many sets of keybushings, I'd surely be in touch with him to see what progress he's made... Have a good weekend. Best to all.
