<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Okay, sorry. For whatever reason I pictured in my mind the
keyslip rubbing on the key fronts. I thought you were using the wrong term to
describe things. Hey, it was late at night........ I see now it was I that
couldn't see the obvious.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Please ignore whatever I said. Even if it seemed like a
good idea - I have to admit I really don't have any good experience with your
situation. Sorry 'bout that Chief!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem with this piano is that when playing
it, I can feel with my left hand in the bass the impact of my right hand
playing in the tenor and treble areas. This is what led me to find that
the front rail of the keyframe was not resting solidly on the keybed. The
space decreases from the middle of the keyframe to the cheek blocks on each
end.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The real problem is what to do about that
space. Your suggestion of adding material between the keyfame and keybed
is good, as I temporarily put cardboard punchings in those spaces to see if it
would help, and it did. But, it didn't eliminate the feeling of
the impact of playing keys 100%.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You suggest there is a problem. What is the problem? I
presume the front rail of the keyframe is the keyslip. And further I presume
the keybed is the front of the keys. 0.090 inches is about 1/8-inch, seems
like enough to me. You say the space decreases from the middle to the ends,
well, how much? If it is 0.001" - what's the problem, if it is 0.05, then
sure, we have something to adjust.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If so, I don't think you want to remove material from
the keyframe - that won't do anything for you - but rather add material
between the keyframe and the keyslip.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A customer of mine has a Wurlitzer G411 in
which there is approximately .090 inch of clearance in the middle between
the front rail of the keyframe and the keybed. The space decreases
from the middle to each of the ends of the keyframe.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the best way to solve this problem
without sanding an enormous amount of wood from each end of the
keyframe?</FONT></DIV>
