<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Since the original keys on almost all pianos are
(sugar or other type of) pine, why not just use pine? I would think the
critical thing would be drilling the proper size hole for the capstans so they
won't be too tight or too loose. When you say "pushing in a capstan," is
that literal, i.e., are you driving them in like a nail or a tuning pin?
I can't believe you are, but why that wording?</FONT></DIV>
