<font size=3>Hi Tim,<br>
By comparing it with adjacent keys. Quite often I will just
use the glue size on one side or end of the hole. I am not sure if
our dryness has a bearing, but I have found no sticking. Or maybe
the thin coat of Protec grease on the BR pin prevents the sticking.<br>
To answer Wim's question: Zero movement is acceptable. Any
movement, and you can hear a slight click when the back check
engages.<br><br>

How do you make sure you have found the exact center of the hole to size
(keeps the keys lined up evenly front to back)? I know with the
Onesti tools part of the procedure is to actually "crush" (so
to speak) the new wood by moving the key as if it is being played.
With the Onesti tools it is very important in making the key move
freely.<br><br>
I've heard CA click when used this way. It also sticks as Don has
suggested.<br><br>
Not trying to be a critic. I'm interested. I have
questions.<br><br>

I solution for pulley keys.<br><br>
Use a set of balance rail pins, Mix 50% PVC-E glue with 50%
water. Swab hole, insert pin from the top of the key, swab around bottom
of key to form a meniscus around pin. Allow 24 hrs to dry.
Pin will be frozen in position. Rotate pin one turn, and it will
slide out.<br><br>
Hole will be sized tp perfection.<br><br>
This piano was a 70's Steinway L with the felt knuckles. All
88 had been over sized to try and solve friction problems. What a
mess.<br><br>
