Steven, 
  
Take a look on the CAUT archives--especially the posts written by Fred Sturm--in the past couple of months.

Hello, 
  
Just left a customers piano that would benefit from new key bushings.  However, on the way to lunch I thought the ones i looked at did not appear to be overly worn yet they are loose and make some side to side noise.  My question is:  is there anyway to swell the bushing and use an appropriate sized caul instead of completely rebushing the entire set?  Just wondering out loud so please don't beat me up. :) 
  
Also the front rail bushings have black lines where the key rides on the pin.  What is the black stuff? 
  
Thanks,
