" I hate to tell you this, but I did give a very valid reason to level the keys straight/level/flat......The key cover/nameboard leading edge, (the one that is above the keys), is almost always STRAIGHT. The piano furniture dictates this. Steinways key cover is straight, as well. Why do they advocate a curved keyboard??? I have asked and NO ONE has ever told me: #1 when that policy started. #2 why that policy started. #3 what advantage, if any, this would do. When they come up with a rationale, (yeah, like that's going to happen!), reason...I'll keep setting them keys FLAT/LEVEL/Parallel! That satisfy ya? BTW, NO, I am not "Mellowing with age"!! That's for good cheese/wine/???. I like my project of becoming the most curmudgeonly person in existance! Nossaman, has a headstart, so I have to strive extra hard!<G> Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
