Here's what I'm thinking: I will = practice on some junk ivory pieces until I am confident in the quality = of repair. And, I learned yesterday that the technical topic at our = next chapter meeting will include a demonstration of AK repair of = ivories!! Also, there were a number of keys with chips before I made my = contribution; I plan to repair all of the chips whether I made them or = not, and disclose all to the owner of the piano. thanks, Mike ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Clyde Hollinger=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 6:45 AM Subject: Re: acrylikey feedback?
