New key buttons, and/or shoes, would be a guaranteed improvement for sure. We've seen solid evidence of increased stiffness in sound boards, with the application of penetrating epoxy. That's why I was hoping someone had experience with stiffening keys. Someone may have, after all, and is just one of the 8,000 techs not on the lists. >I dont really think theres a cheap and easy way of dealing with this >effectively, but perhaps some of the more experienced woodworkers have >some good suggestions. > >My diagnostics tools to confirm this is first a general sense of action >compliance, then simply check the keys themselves. Oh yeah, WE can diagnose flexi-key easily with a quick exam. My question is more along the lines of translation and interpretation of "artist speak". I've always found it entertaining to decipher what it is that "they" are trying to tell us when they have a complaint... or situation, or whatever. >RicB Thanks, Guy
