Reaming and repinning will take care of it. Be accurate, be consistent - it makes a world of difference in the touch, and the tone will likely improve, too!

So.....is the bushing cloth used on these instruments treated with Emeralon which reacts adversely to Protek? I myself have used Protek on older S&S pianos here and there with good results.
