<DIV>Hi Dave. Is this an E-109? I've seen several here that needed
lead removal. Young Chang has paid for the removal, but hesitated on
covering plugging of holes, or a proper re-weighting. The lead
removal does make the piano function (black keys, usually;
sometimes whites past the damped notes). In the past, I've just held the
key to a jig with an appropriate hole (lead sized or larger) and punched
the lead out with a hammer and punch. A vise works as a jig. Some
lead dust can be expected, so use a drop cloth if done in a customer's
home. </DIV>
