<DIV>Thanks David and all who have replied to this so far. </DIV>
<DIV>The balance hole area is, I agree, very important and will
be my next port of call. Roger has brought the issue up with Petrofs
suggesting that this is an established problem. Has anyone else here come
up against this? It would seem that the keyboards are Petrof's own design,
married (in this case) with a Renner action.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have also looked at the key leads as mentioned by David
Love and Terry Farrell but the amount of lead does not look particularly
abnormal for a concert grand.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am assuming that there are re-builders out there who have taken these
more modern Petrofs apart and anylised the design. I welcome all
suggestions.</DIV>
