Alan,



What kind of piano is it?
Schimmel had problems with some laminated keys a few years back. They will replace
them.

When spacing (i. e., bending) the portion of the key between
the balance pin and the distal end (where the lifter felt is) is indicated,
does anyone have a technique that works particularly well for them?  We
are experimenting with heat alone (which we have found to be extremely
slow-going, so far) and with steam (more rapid results, but harder to contain
than heat without all that moisture in it).  Thoughts?
