Looks like someone beltsanded the keys. I think I would vote for adding wood. Make up some stock, say 1mm or so, then take 1mm off each side with a table saw, what ever it takes to get back to what you need. I've never done this so my advise is probably worth what you paid for it.

I do not want to buy new keys. I will be replacing the keytops so that won't be a problem. The sides have to be built up and I was thinking either a filler or trim the sides down and add new wood. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Jack Houweling -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
