Matthew Todd asked: " have a few missing keytops on my old practice = piano. I noticed that on some of the keys without the tops, a thin = piece of wood that was once glued to the top of the keystick, has come = loose. Now, there are others where that thin piece of wood is = splintered and some are missing. First of all, I hope you all know what I am talking about, and second, = can someone please give me the proper term for this "thin piece of wood = glued over the keystick" as I feel pretty dumb explaining it this way. For lack of a better term, I'd call it a key mortise patch. Thirdly, how does one go about to repair such a problem so that I can = put new tops on? I would replace the missing "patch" with a piece of Basswood or Sugar = Pine, (of which I have a whole bunch of.<G>) As for those that are = coming loose, reglue them. Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
