Key repair

[Larry J. Messerly]

I just performed a service call on an upright piano that had been
"rebuilt" by one of our local butchers.  Poor regulation, un-even key
level, bad hammer shaping, key rebushing by replacing one or two here or
there as the mood moved him and a butcher's job of recovering keys. 
(Although a real butcher probably could have done a better job of it.)

Now to the subject of my post.  Rebuilding the sides of keys that over
the years or though poor recovering.  

I don't think that I've seen anyting on this in the Journal.  I have
suggested it as a class at our Arizona State PTG Seminar (which is
usually the first weekend in January).   I don't think that there is
anyone in our chapter profecient in this skill.  

Anyone out there care to share on this topic?
