It is = particularly harmful to small children whose mental development seems to = be hampered by continued exposure to lead. Their liver seems to be at = risk as well. This said, I wonder just how exposed lead in piano keys really is. = Most lead related health warnings concentrate on sources such as old = stripped lead paint, especially if scraped and sanded, thus producing = harmful dust containing lead that can be easily absorbed by the = organism. Frankly speaking, the inquisitive piano tech seems more at = risk here to me. Be it as it may, this issue does not seem to me to be such a major = obstacle to proper action performance. Can not something else be = substituded for lead, steel for example ? Peace, Jean-Jacques Granas Warsaw ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
