This was a Kincaid spinet, Wim. The factory decided keybuttons were not necessary. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 6939 Foothill Court SW, Olympia, Washington 98512 USA Phone 360.515.0119 - Cell 360.388.6525 del at fandrichpiano.com <mailto:del at fandrichpiano.com> - ddfandrich at gmail.com From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of tnrwim at aol.com Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 9:12 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] pulley key... Barb Was this key quite a bit lower than the other black keys? Because it almost looks like the key button is missing.

So I was working on a splendid Kincaid spinet today. I was tuning away and there was this one note that kept making a knocking sound. Sure enough, the back of the keytop was hitting the keystop rail (or whatever you call it on an upright piano). Not only was it hitting the rail, but there was a huge space in front of the key. I wiggled the key fore and aft. Dang, that was the pulliest key I'd ever encountered. I removed the key and the pictures explain it.
