<div>Brian</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks.  More 'grist' for the mill, eh?  (...sorry...)</div> <div> </div> <div>I do, of course, lift the punchings and twist down there.  In fact, just to show you how careful I can be, (at times) I completely removed the punchings, on a piano that was getting its keys rebushed, before I polished the keypins with Brasso and untwisted them back to their proper orientation.  That way, not only did I not scratch the keypins when untwisting, I also did not get any Brasso on the felt punchings.</div> <div><BR>Tom Sivak</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>BRIAN GRIST <bng0809@msn.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <STYLE></STYLE> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2912" name=GENERATOR> <DIV>Folks;</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   That the original submitter felt a slight remorse shows good knowledge of his efforts. Please remember to raise the front rail punchings and 'twist' these rails in this area instead of the area of travel. This will minimize the impact of possible marring of the pin surface for this admittedly temporary fix. I hadn't seen this mentioned in the correspondence and just thought I'd weigh in.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Brian Grist </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
