<html> <body> Wim, I assume you're talking about the key slip? :-) If you are, something I've seen done is to put (what I'd call) bullet shaped plugs pointing down from inside the keyslip (glued in, of course) into corresponding holes in the front of the keybed (where guide pins or screw would normally be) to make a snug fit. Takes the cheek block completely out of it. Hope I've explained well enough. I have 2 here that has been done to and seems to work well.

What are some ways to hold the rail on the piano? Two options I am considering is drilling a hole through the front of the rail and attaching the rail to the cheek block. The other option is to attach the rail with screws from the bottom, like the way a lot of other grands have. The piano is in a practice room, so cosmetics is not important.   Wim _______________________________________________ caut list info: <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives" eudora="autourl"> https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</a></blockquote></body> </html>
