[pianotech] 1880 Steinway Vertical

 Some center pins are walking out of the damper flanges and hammer flanges.
The double flange with hammer and damper attached cannot be removed because
the sustenuto rod is in the way.  The stickers are attached to the keys with
a "mystery" material, glued to the sticker and clamped to the key stick.
What material should I  use to repair/replace this connecter?  The customer
knows the challenges with this instrument and is willing to make repairs and
service to keep it working.  The case has been restored, but nothing much
has been done to the action.  It's the oldest working piano I've seen that
is still being played.
