[pianotech] key leveling with a curve

[Thomas Cole]

  I have what looks like a 1/8" crown in my keyboard, but the key level 
is dead flat. It's an unintentional illusion due to the warped keyslip. 
So I have the "benefit" of crown without the bother of a curved stick 
for key leveling.

I've considered adding a screw at each end to straighten the keyslip but 
then it would no longer be a key-slip, if you get my meaning.
