Hello List and Kevin who said (inter alia): " I've also talked to one or =
two other techs who did a repin job, only to have the problem return a =
year later." There is also the other returning problem of growing =
key-leads (weights) I replaced a whole set in a Broadwood grand about =
ten years ago - now the new weights are getting white, expanding, =
growing out of the sides of the keys which are splitting as a direct =
result. In the case of both centre-pin and key weights replacement =
doesn't seem to be enough. Makes me wonder if there's any chemical in =
the wood which is causing these horrid problems. Note. I find that only =
Grand pianos seem to be affected in the key-lead problem.
