<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If you go to our website <A

the mortise replacement section of the services page, you will see the most
effective way of fixing a broken mortise. We now provide CNC made buttons and
mortise inserts for naturals and sharps to the trade, I'll post pictures to this
list soon (once I figure out how). Mike</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I brought a set of keys from a 1930 Knabe grand
back to my shop for key rebushing. Six of the black keys are missing the
wood from one side of the front key mortise. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the best way to repair this?</FONT></DIV>
