Tell them it will require all new = key pins, all new felt on the three rails, and new key bushings. Then you = can level those new keytops. Keep in mind though that if the action is = gummed up, the keys may still not reliably return to their proper position. = Maybe you have the best idea - a stick under the keys!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Terry Farrell <SPAN = id=__#Ath#SignaturePos__></SPAN> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; = BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: = black"><B>From:</B> <A title=HazenBannister@cs.com href="mailto:HazenBannister@cs.com">HazenBannister@cs.com</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A = title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, January 04, 2002 = 6:25 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Veneer</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Hi list, = <BR> This question might have been asked before,I need info on where to purchase = veneer.Not only high quality veneer,but also B grade veneer for the = klunkers that <BR>need some help.Like the one I'm working on, having to do = major glueing,veneering, <BR>work to refinish.The action needs nothing short = of major rebuild.The piano needs <BR>pinblock,restringing,front rail = pins,balance rail pins,all felt & cloth.(EVERYTHING).I <BR>told the customer it = was not worth it,but it has sentimental value.So he is gonna <BR>get it refinished,with new keytops,so it will look nice in his home.Maybe one = day later,get action,and piano work done,as no one plays anyway.I can't = level the keys,because of the pins.Should I maybe, block the keys up to level = them,just for looks? It sounds crazy,but they were not taking no for an answer. <BR><BR>Thanks, <BR>Hazen Bannister = </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
