[pianotech] Schaff Key Recovering

[Kerry]

Schaff used to use Rochester Key Company in New York (they just tacked on a
percentage to Rochesters' price). RKC was, IMO, one of the better deals
around if you used them directly. They did a nice job for a reasonable
price, not what I'd put on a high-end grand but good value for the average
piano, improvable by a little judicious finishing on the edges. 

Then a few years ago, Bob Byrnes, the founder, retired and the company
seemed to fall apart. They're still in business so I assume they've
recovered ;-) since then. I'd be interested in hearing whether anyone has
current experience with them.

    According to Schaff Piano, they have changed sources for their key 
recovering and should result in shorter turnaround time and improved 
quality.
