Problem: one warped key on a Baldwin console. How it happened: 9 months ago this piano was under a leaking pipe in a church dining room. The water cascaded from the top over the swing panel and on to and through the the keys in the bass section. First solution: I allowed the piano to dry out for several weeks, after which it only needed only a few bushings to eased. Other than that, it appeard everything was fine. Now, 9 months later G1 is warped. It has a slight bend in it, and is rubbing against the F. (It is leaving the F# and G# alone. The key has a dog leg to the left. It has a key button on the underside. My initial thought is to lay the key on its side, with the bend up, and put a weight on the top of the bend, to allow it to straighten out. But I am not sure if this will work. Any other ideas? Willem Blees RPT St. Louis
