<p>Amazing...I have a D at Stanford where the keys, mostly in the bass and tenor. have holes drilled in from the bottom...15 holes per key or so...???? Maybe they wanted an air-cooled keyboard? Very funny looking...the pianist loves the piano, but a new keyboard is down the road. </p>

<div><font face="Arial" size="4">Thought some of you might like to see these pics. I just finished plugging over 400 holes(I know that key replacement should have been considered, but it is not possible for this customer), and that was after I left what I hope to be a basic starting weight pattern in the keys. I just weighed the leads that came out. To be honest, I was a little dissappointed they only weighed 15 pounds. Oh well. I would be interested, though, to find out where that stands as far as bragging rights go.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="4">Oh. The key weighing was part of an S&S "B" rebuilding 10 years ago that included Renner Blues on shanks with a 16mm pin to knuckle measurement, pinblock replacement without glueing it in <u><strong><em>or</em></strong></u> fitting it to the flange and also pushed the plate back to shorten #88 to about 46 mm, delignit block with <strong><u>VERY</u></strong> tight pins and coils 10 to 12 mm above plate. This piano is just a joy! :-(</font></div>
