Indeed I am aware of that - and quite practiced at it also - but only to adress the pulley-key condition that WAS present on this keyboard. And I thought I was so darn smart locating the hole EXACTLY where the "origianl masters" had placed it. I thought that they ALWAYS did EVERYTHING perfectly! Well, maybe I need some MORE practice....... > Not a heck of a lot more trouble than relocating capstans - maybe, and you > ought to have new key pins anyway.

The strings, action rails and damper assembly are all aligned quite well - seems to be only the keys are out of whack. Thanks for the suggestion. I sure wish you would have suggested that BEFORE I fixed the pulley keys. Maybe I need to send you a shop task list periodically so that you can save me from doing the same task three times. Good suggestion. Thanks. I'll have to think on this a bit.
