Shouldn't you cover the plunger with Wurzen Felt?  ;-)

Terry asked: "And about how long do you find you need to attack each key
to get to =
some level of regulation stability? Do you also use this device on a new
=
$4K ivory key set?"
 
Terry,
Usually 15-30 seconds will suffice. And, YES, it can be used on Ivory.
The dowel has two front rail punchings, stacked/glued on the dowel. Then
the VERY SOFT Buckskin is stretched over the end, glued and clamped with
a chunk of piano wire. The whole feel is that of a finger. On the end
that inserts into the Jig Saw, I took an appropriate sized screw and
flattened one end and filed/ground it to the appropriate configuration
to mimic the appropriated saw blades, used on this Jig Saw. Then I
screwed it into the dowel w/some epoxy as lubricant/fastening. The sides
of the dowel were flattened/thinned to clear the declevity plate. It
probably took about an hour to set it up for use. I've been using it for
many years and have never had a problem with damage to the
keys/piano/self. Initially, it was purchased at a Used Tool store, for
very little bucks. Even a new Jig Saw is fairly cheap these days.
