<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sid Blum asked: "<FONT face="Times =
New Roman"
size=3>I'm working on a Baldwin Hamilton which has some badly twisted =
keys.
<BR>There are a couple of posts<BR>in the archives that mention =
straightening by
cutting kerfs in the <BR>keys and shimming, but not enough detail to =
give me a
clear picture <BR>of the procedure. Any advice much
appreciated.<BR><BR>Sid,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" =
size=3>The methods, I
have employed, were either/and wetting and putting a reverse warp to =
straighten
or steam. It's fairly easy to make a small steam box. The down side to =
steam is
that it's difficult not to unglue something that you want to stay
stuck.<G></FONT></FONT></DIV>
