[pianotech] FW: re: Rebushing keys, was ...VS Profelt

[Ryan Sowers]

I don't know Joe! Are you counting everything?: removing the action and
keys, putting keys in key clamps, numbering keys, soaking out/removing old
bushings, repairing cracked key buttons as needed, getting the glue ready,
selecting proper felt thickness, ironing felt (yes I do this), cleaning and
lubing the keypins, fitting the keys back on the keyframe, did I leave
anything out?

I'd say 3-4 hours is more realistic for the complete job. But maybe I'm a
slowpoke ; )

Rainy Friday afternoon. Should be working...Don't really feel like it.
