The sharps are actually the correct height. You should raise the naturals to
the original height then the relationship to the sharps will be okay. You
will also need to add punchings to the front rail to keep the dip good. Then
regulate as normal.

Hello List,

I recently posted on the subject of replacing white plastic key coverings
with some very good one- piece ivory tops which I can salvage from an older
piano.

Having thought this situation through, it is obvious that the ivory is going
to be thinner than the original plastic.  This is going to leave the sharps
looking too high.  I will, therefore , have to lower the height of the
sharps at the balance rail and in turn alter the depth of touch on the
sharps. The sharps and naturals will no longer have their original
realtionship.

My question to you all is, 'Am I getting into deep water with the action
geometry by doing this, and am I likely to end up with a peculiar feel in
the general touch?'
