Tie one end of a string around the strip and the other end to a
capstan and pull it straight.

Should lighten the touch of that one note.

Go to the hardware store and get a new stip of finish molding, cut to
length, drill two hole for screws and attach it to the key blocks.

Drill a hole in the fall board, put a dowel pin in the strip.  Fall
board will keep it staight.

Glue on a new strip of nameboard felt.  That should help.

Put a brass pull on it so the pianist can push it back when the want
to play a sharp.

Screw it to the top of a middle key, maybe middle C.

Get an extra long balance rail pin and tie them together.
