You might want to reconsider this option - give it some thought.
When the keyslip contacts keys, it is leaning in towards the keys at the
top. If you place a straitedge across the front of the keyslip side
to side, you will find that the bottom edge of the keyslip is straight,
while the top edge is bowed in towards the keys. This is why
it works well to wedge shims into the top - it tilts the keyslip away
from the keys without bowing it out unnecessarily. Using hardwood
shims glued in place is certainly a permanent repair, so if this comes up
again you can feel comfortable doing it this way. It'll save a lot
of time, too.<br>
