<FONT FACE="Verdana">Hi Roger, <BR>
So you are actually using the PVC-E as a gap-filler=
to a large extent, judging from the pic and your description. I guess that =
makes sense, as it has enough flexibility/spring when dry to keep from being=
noisy, like, say tite-bond (how would I know that?)<BR>
Love those felt knuckles. Those were the good old d=
ays <g>. Actually, they were maybe a bit better than the rock-hard cow=
hide ones. Depending what problem irritates you more.<BR>

&nb=
sp; I solution for pull=
ey keys.<BR>
<BR>
Use a set of balance rail pins, Mix 50% PVC-E glue with 50% water. Sw=
ab hole, insert pin from the top of the key, swab around bottom of key to fo=
rm a meniscus around pin. Allow 24 hrs to dry. Pin will be froze=
n in position. Rotate pin one turn, and it will slide out.<BR>
<BR>
Hole will be sized tp perfection.<BR>

This piano was a 70's Steinway L with the felt knuckles. All 88 had b=
een over sized to try and solve friction problems. What a mess.<BR>
