Wally Scherer">> Wally; The Sojin has that lovely two piece cheek block arrangement where the part that holds the keyframe pin captive is a separate piece from the upper cheek block....the veneered and finished portion. On the Sojin, the frame was as far back as it could/would go when I first saw the thingee...and that is where the hammer line dictated it to be. :-( The clearance between the keyslip and front of the keys was gracious plenty so that did not present a problem. It was the design of the keybuttons that allowed the thingees to jam occasionally against the back of the fallboard.( I really think this particular set of buttons were installed backwards?) When I put them on the sander (1" table model belt ) I took off the portion that looked kinda like ....|.... and made it look like ...\... This would have been enough to make the thingee 'stick' free from buttons rubbing even without replacing the flattened rubber buttons. Clear as mud? Jim Bryant (FL)
