I'm working on a set of keys which has a large, deep counter sink on the bottom of the shoe which caused the pin to wear an oblong hole. Evidently, someone tried to ease the hole in an upside-down manner. The hole is larger than glue sizing or a veneer insert will repair, besides, the pin is traversing 2+mm above the bottom. The hole has to be relocated to the bottom of the shoe. Would maple inserts be better than poplar? Is the Onesti repair system the best answer for this, aside from replacing the shoe. http://www.onestipiano.com/pages/bhrs.html#anchor525541 Anyone want to sell one? I have the fibre washer insert kit but I want something more substantial. -- Regards, Jon Page
