I have replaced the wippens made of space age material (plastic) plus =
new shanks and hammers in this Tokai grand. The piano has an immense =
amount of lead in the keys and I can't get any kind of decent touch =
weight - very low upweight.  I figure I should remove the leads and =
start from scratch.

I carefully matched the Renner style wippens and the knuckle placement =
on the shanks.  The new wippen heels are about 3/16" smaller than the =
original therefore I've had to raise the capstans which I've polished =
and applied Prolube.

        Does anyone have a quick and efficient method of removing key =
leads from an entire set of keys?
