Sounds like it would be less work to rebush the key

Haven't found myself in the particular scenario you describe, but have used
V S Profelt on somewhat worn key bushings, after a light steaming (and, in
some cases, needling of compacted area a la Steve Brady's method), and
followed by cauls of appropriate size overnight.  Overkill? maybe, but
effective.

Listy,

 I just received my bottle of VS profelt from pianotek and was wondring if
anyone has had any success in sizing key bushings with this stuff.

   I serviced a piano yesterday that had recently rebushed keys and  the
cauls used were  too big. No wear at all on the cloth and all were
consistantly loose both front and center .

 

I don't have the action in the shop yet and I will experiment tonight on
some old keys ,but would also appreciate any feedback from your collective
experience.

 It would be nice to not have to rebush .

Thanks,

Tom D.
