Avery,

We can't remove the keyslip.  It's on there to stay in the Petrof=
 115 model studios.  I'll bet the piano in question is a 115,=
 (newest models now called 116s, I believe).  Since key=
 interference with the keyslip is the problem, and since moving=
 the keyslip is not an option, it's a simple matter to nudge the=
 keys rearward just a hair by shimming the keyframe away from the=
 keyslip.  This is what my procedure describes.

For the meticulous in the crowd, yes this might add a few grains=
 of down weight because of the capstan movement.  If this is=
 unacceptable to you, by all means, gather your planers, chisels,=
 sanders and polyester repair kit and reduce the thickness of the=
 keyslip.

If, on the other hand, you want an effective, 20-minute repair,=
 shim back the keyframe.

Respectfully,

Cliff Lesher, RPT
Winfield, PA

Cliff, 

I don't understand this. I "thought" we were talking about=
 removing the 
key slip. Weren't we? :-)

Jerry,

I just did this less than a week ago.  It worked beautifully=
 without affecting anything else.

1.  Remove case parts.
2.  Remove keys
3.  Loosen keyframe screws (8)
4.  Place shims (I used business card slivers) between keyframe=
 and keyslip.
5.  With the shims in place, tighten keyframe screws.
6.  Replace keys and case parts.

Time required:  20 to 30 minutes.

If the keyslip doesn=B9t come off, does anyone have an efficient=
 solution when the key fronts are rubbing against the keyslip? 



Thanks,

I have a Petrof vertical, and have the same problem.  I contacted=
 the Petrof rep. and was informed that indeed, it does not come=
 off.  Don't you just love challenges like this?

Some of them do not come off.  A couple of the Chinese pianos=
 have the same arrangement.  Makes for interesting adjustments=
 when the keys hit the keyslip. 
Now there's a use for the 9 pound sledge. TP
