Re: Arthritic joints and keywork

Author: ron b  Date:   2004-03-19 16:24 Techs are usually found at their benches bending keys *back* to where they belong, Henry If the bend you'd like done isn't too severe it should be no problem. I'd ask a tech to do this because of the possibility that it's not a 'bendable' metal - remote chance but it happens. Find a tech with a good reputation for working on woodwinds. Techs (good ones) have the tools and the experience to do this quickly and correctly and I doubt if they'd charge you for the favor. If you do it yourself and haven't done something like this before you run the risk of harming the key or the posts, or both. Whichever way you decide to go, I think it would be a great help. Playing should be fun, not a struggle. Anything you can do to make playing easier for yourself is the right thing to do. - rn b -
