Dear Colleagues, In changing a set of knuckles, I found that the spline of the new replacements (supplied by a piano manufacturer) were a tish larger than the groove left after removal of the old knuckles. I found a file in my pile of tools that did the job of widening the groove, but I was uncomfortable using it because it slowed me down. I tried saw blades and I tried filing the new splines, but using the file in the grooves was the least of all those evils. Does anyone have a good trick of the trade to suggest for my next knuckle encounter? By the way, for those who are unaware, a "tish" is a highly technical term analogous to a "smidgeon". Howard S.
