List, My 10 minute solution is to trim the dowels protruding from the bottom of the slip on the side facing the player, essentially making the dowels smaller in diameter than the corresponding hole in the keybed. Then glue a piece of leather in the holes one quarter the circumference of the hole on the side closest to the keyframe. Hard to describe, but think of it as making a smaller hole and "moving" it away from the keyframe . Then when inserting the slip (with the smaller dowels) a new space is created without adding any extra friction. I'm all for doing what needs to be done in whatever time and resources may be available, and this technique qualifies on both counts. Tom Driscoll RPT No virus found in this outgoing message.
