Interesting key repair

No list of ~Items Required to repair a broken key~ needs to include tin snips and sheet metal.

Letter from Yvonne Ashmore

Hi Mark,

We recently did a bushing job on some sort of Asian piano for Shawn Skylark. The piano must have been fairly new and the bushings weren't really worn, but previous technicians (not Shawn) had evidently overeased the keys. When we removed the bushings the real problem which was causing sluggish keys became apparent as shown by these pictures.

Thought you might be interested.

Bad pedal repair

An elastic band is not an acceptable replacement for a broken pedal spring!
