<BR>
<BR>I know this is a no-no for long term use, but is turning the front rail =
pins likely to do any lasting damage to key mortises? I've done it bef=
ore on old uprights where the cost of new key bushings is double the value o=
f the piano.
<BR>
<BR>I'm working on a 20 year-old Baldwin 7 footer tomorrow where there is to=
o much play in the bushings, yet the bushings are seem to be in good conditi=
on. This would be a stop-gap measure until the clients are ready to sp=
ring for a new set of key bushings, which I will try to talk them into.
<BR>
<BR>Just wondering, fire extinguisher in hand
