Roger,

After reading a few more posts on this topic, I get the feeling
that some may think the problem is the key stop rail. If I read
the original post correctly, it was the fall board / name board
strip / key cover / what ever!
In any case, filing down the sharps to eliminate the problem
of sharps hitting a warped fall board, is in league with, shimming
a warped key frame with business cards...as apposed to sanding
the frame, and seating it properly. In my humble opinion!
