It's on there to stay in the Petrof 115 model studios. I'll bet the piano in question is a 115, (newest models now calle= d 116s, I believe). Since key interference with the keyslip is the problem, and since moving the keyslip is not an option, it's a simple matter to nudg= e the keys rearward just a hair by shimming the keyframe away from the keyslip. This is what my procedure describes. For the meticulous in the crowd, yes this might add a few grains of down weight because of the capstan movement. If this is unacceptable to you, by all means, gather your planers, chisels, sanders and polyester repair kit and reduce the thickness of the keyslip. If, on the other hand, you want an effective, 20-minute repair, shim back the keyframe.

I "thought" we were talking about removing the key slip. Weren't we? :-) Avery=20 At 11:32 AM 6/16/04, you wrote: Jerry, I just did this less than a week ago. It worked beautifully without affecting anything else. 1. Remove case parts. 2. Remove keys 3. Loosen keyframe screws (8) 4. Place shims (I used business card slivers) between keyframe and keyslip= . 5. With the shims in place, tighten keyframe screws. 6. Replace keys and case parts. Time required: 20 to 30 minutes.

A couple of the Chinese pianos have the same arrangement. Makes for interesting adjustments when the keys hit the keyslip.=20 Now there's a use for the 9 pound sledge.
