<P><TT>Probably 30-40 minutes to do a whole piano keyplank, uncut with
the key button moulding in place - I'll let you know if I actually do it.
But then that's assuming just using one size tool - no problem if the center
rail pins had those oblong 0.088 tips and if there were front rail pins
of corresponding width. Probably it would end up taking not quite double
this time to completely mortise a keyplank (but then that time, aside from
just unbushed center pin mortises was for one 5-octave basswood manual...).</TT><TT></TT>
<P><TT>Now we've got to get those harpsichord types away from just using
those darn Korg electronic tuners. ;)</TT><TT></TT>
