It was born a C&A instrument in 1973, and presented to the college in 1983. My understanding is that they were like this when the college got the piano. Unfortunately, while it's getting a major redesign and remanufacture, we don't have key tops on the list. I expect I'll try to flatten and "texture" them some before it goes out, so they'll look less shabby. The key mortise recesses, where the bushing cloth folds over, were apparently stamped in originally. The front rail had been rebushed, and all the cloth was standing way below flush with the key bottoms as the removal of the old bushings steamed the stamped recesses back out. Gave it an interesting feel to play. It's got a couple of other minor key issues too... every one seems to be unique. Back to bushing.
