Since the original keys on almost all pianos are (sugar or other type of) pine, why not just use pine? I would think the critical thing would be drilling the proper size hole for the capstans so they won't be too tight or too loose. When you say "pushing in a capstan," is that literal, i.e., are you driving them in like a nail or a tuning pin? I can't believe you are, but why that wording? --David Nereson, RPT -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
