[pianotech] Key easing question

[PAULREVENKOJONES at aol.com]

I agree. Balance rail bushings are accessible even with the stack on. The  
off-set key easing pliers are handy. Gary's idea of squeezing the keys 
against  the pin might work in a pinch, but it's a route to rebushing the entire 
set  sooner than later. The right tool and the right technique are a better  
idea.

Keys  don’t need to come out to ease balance rail bushings.  The balance 
rail  hole maybe, but not the bushings.

Greg:  If you are easing the front rail bushing, use 3120 Key easing  plier 
on page 66 Schaff catalog.  If you are easing the balance rail  bushings, 
the keys have to come out of the piano.
