[pianotech] Strange Keys Continued

 A new morning has me wondering, what is the benefit of making keys like this?  The piano plays okay.  The touch is a little heavy which I chalk up to damper lift being set too early.  (maybe gonna try last months Journal article suggestion for bench regulating damper spoons by Linda Marten RPT).  Also, the FR bushings are a little "crunchy" towards the bottom of the key stroke.  But other than that it is fine for what it is.  Just curious?

Hello,
 
Tonight I went to the store to work on a piano we are giving to a needy family who have 2 children who play very well.  I was cleaning and removed some keys that were sticking together from some gunk and when I turned them over they looked like this.  I proceeded to check and they are all narrow wood with I'll call it a plastic housing.  Weird.
