Key Repair

[Fenton Murray]

Looks like someone beltsanded the keys. I think I would vote for adding wood. Make up some stock, say 1mm or so, then take 1mm off each side with a table saw, what ever it takes to get back to what you need. I've never done this so my advise is probably worth what you paid for it.

  Hello everyone,

  Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to repair the sides of these keys. I do not want to buy new keys. I will be replacing the keytops so that won't be a problem. The sides have to be built up and I was thinking either a filler or trim the sides down and add new wood. Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Jack Houweling
