<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Terry, David,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There's an article about the =
technique on
the Onesti Piano web site:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><A =
href="http://www.onestipiano.com/pages/journalarticle.html"><FONT
face=Arial
=
size=2>http://www.onestipiano.com/pages/journalarticle.html</FONT></A><=
/DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This seems to be a relevant =
section:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><<If there are keys with =
massive damage so
that a gauge pin will not center in the hole, the key can be placed in =
the
keyframe with neighbors to align properly while sitting on a snug =
fitting
paper punching of .015" or greater glued onto the bottom of that key. =
This
will provide an adequate guide for the pin and cutter. Selecting the =
proper
drill bit for the size of the balance pins, insert it into the plug =
cutter,
centering properly.>></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The following technique might be used =
to
*establish* the correct alignment for the "snug fitting paper
punching":</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(1) Put a snugly fitting paper =
punching over the
balance rail pin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(2) Put a tiny dab of glue on the
punching.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(3) Carefully lower the key onto the =
punching,
making sure to position it correctly with respect to its
neighbors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(4) Leave key until glue is =
dry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(5) Remove key and mark/measure the =
position of
the punching hole (perhaps by making a mark exactly X-distance "aft" =
of the
correct position).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(6) Cut the notch, glue in new =
material,
etc., etc. -- placing the balance rail pin hole at the previously =
measured
location.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or here's another idea:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(1) Cut a notch in the key. =
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(2) Cut an insert to go in the notch, =
leaving
just a tiny bit of room for fore/aft "wiggle," and leaving =
just a
tiny bit of excess width (not so much as to touch neighboring
key).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(3) Drill a balance rail pin hole in =
the insert
in the "best guess" location.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(4) Dry-assemble the insert and =
notched key on
the keyframe and check for alignment. Needs tweaking?
Remove material from appropriate end of insert to achieve correct =
alignment. The point is that it should be *possible* to align =
the
keystick over the insert, when sliding =
it around.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(5) Remove keystick. Leave =
insert on
balance rail pin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(6) Put Titebond on both
surfaces. Lower keystick onto insert. Align correctly =
with
neighbors. Let dry. Perhaps epoxy would be a better, =
albeit
messier, glue for this step, since clamping the joint (e.g. with =
weight)
while maintaining alignment might be =
problematic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(7) Remove keystick/insert. =
Shape the
insert flush with the key. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(8) Fill any fore/aft gaps with epoxy =
(using tape
on the sides to retain it).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would that work?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
