warped nameboard strip

[Roger Jolly]

Bob,
       We are both on the same wave length, on this one. Wurlitzer's of
this vintage all had a seperate key retaining rail, ( as far as I know ).
  I have used the same technique to straighten badly warped key frames. IT
save a lot of arduous sanding,  and ensures that you don't sand through the
lip of the rail in the centre of the frame there by increasing 'drag' when
the una corda is used. For key frames I cut my own V shaped maple shims.
