<DIV>Hello List,</DIV>
<DIV>I recently posted on the subject of replacing white plastic key
coverings with some very good one- piece ivory tops which I can salvage
from an older piano.</DIV>
<DIV>Having thought this situation through, it is obvious that the ivory is
going to be thinner than the original plastic. This is going to leave the
sharps looking too high. I will, therefore , have to lower the height of
the sharps at the balance rail and in turn alter the depth of touch on the
sharps. The sharps and naturals will no longer have their original
realtionship.</DIV>
<DIV>My question to you all is, 'Am I getting into deep water with the action
geometry by doing this, and am I likely to end up with a peculiar feel in the
general touch?'</DIV>
