>So, what to do. If this were my piano for life, I would rout out or chisel >out the proper recess. Terry, Perhaps the Gods of The Preservation of Sacred Authenticity won't notice just this once if you fix it. I'd break out the router and go with what you already apparently think is the mechanically right thing to do. I don't see much point in letting the original builder shoot you in the foot all these years after the fact unless the owner is a relative and is likely to check. Fix it now or fight it later. Hey, another shop sign is born! Ron N
